Can I use canned salmon instead of tuna?

Absolutely, I do this all the time when I want to mix things up. Salmon gives a richer flavor, and the recipe works exactly the same way. Just make sure to remove any bones and skin first—unless you're into that extra crunch (no judgment here).

Is this tuna salad keto-friendly?

You bet, With only 8g net carbs per serving, it fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle. For even lower carbs, skip the onion or use just a tablespoon. My keto friends swear by adding extra avocado instead of yogurt—so creamy.

How long does it really last in the fridge?

I've pushed it to 4 days before, but 3 days is the sweet spot. The lemon juice helps preserve it, but you'll notice the celery starts losing its crunch after day three. Pro tip: if you're meal prepping, keep the veggies separate and mix them in daily. For more meal prep ideas, check out these make ahead quinoa salad jars recipe .

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, My favorite swap is mashed avocado—it makes the creamiest, dreamiest tuna salad. Tahini works too for a nutty twist, though you'll need to thin it with extra lemon juice. Just avoid watery substitutes that'll make your salad soggy.

What's the best tuna to use?

I prefer solid white albacore in water—it has the cleanest flavor and firmest texture. But honestly? Any tuna works in a pinch. Just drain it really well (I press mine between paper towels) so your salad doesn't get watery.
