Is Canned Tuna Good for a Keto Diet?

Canned tuna is a great source of protein that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a Keto diet. Rich in heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids, tuna makes a versatile and relatively inexpensive addition to your weekly meal rotation. Perfect combined with added fats to make our delicious Keto tuna salad, tossed through low carb spaghetti or flaked into omelets.

Is Mayonnaise Keto?

Mayonnaise is an excellent choice as a Keto condiment. Naturally rich in fats, mayonnaise is prepared with a base of Keto friendly ingredients. Store-bought mayonnaise can contain added sugars and additives however, that are not Keto compliant. Be sure to check the labels to find a suitable option. Alternatively, you can use our own Keto homemade mayo for your tuna salad. You can find the recipe for this in our sides section.

Ingredients

1 can – each 5 ounce net weight canned tuna
1 tablespoon mayo
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 teaspoon, chopped green onions
1 teaspoon, chopped cilantro
1 ounce avocado
¼ teaspoon lime juice, fresh

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix together until well combined. If you would prefer a chunkier tuna salad, you can dice the avocado into small pieces and mix. For a creamier tuna salad, mash the avocado with the mayonnaise before mixing it into the tuna. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
