Notes

How to serve tuna salad

As a sandwich. You can use a low FODMAP friendly bread if you need this recipe to be low FODMAP. Alternatively you can use a gluten free or grain free bread depending on your dietary requirements. Tuna salad is great on toasted bread, so if you can toast it first, I highly recommend that!
With crackers. I love to serve tuna salad with crackers, they are crunchy, salty and make the whole experience more fun. I love to use my almond flour flax crackers or pumpkin seed crackers. For low FODMAP crackers, I love Laiki Brand (the red bag) they are seriously yummy and made with rice!
With veggies. You can use sliced cucumber or large strips of red bell pepper for scooping up the low FODMAP tuna salad.
In a wrap – I love to use collard greens as a low carb wrap for tuna salad. They are easy to make and the perfect way to get in more veggies.

What other veggies can you add

Carrots – shredded carrots add great crunch and texture and are considered to have no FODMAPs in any amount.
Kalamata olives – if you love olives, they would be a great addition to this tuna salad. Kalamata olives are low FODMAP in serving size of 15 or less olives.
Celery – if you just love celery in your tuna salad, you can add a small amount. Celery is low fodmap in 1/2 stalk per serving.

Storing leftovers

Store leftover tuna salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
