Creamy tuna salad without bread
Phase 1 lunch: hearty tuna salad with Greek yoghurt and crispy vegetables, strict high-protein and low-carb.
This creamy tuna salad without bread proves that a light lunch can still be satisfying. Instead of mayonnaise, lean Greek yoghurt provides the creaminess, whilst celery and red onion add a crispy bite. A quick, fresh lunch that you prepare in ten minutes and that never feels heavy.
For Phase 1 of the protein diet, this tuna salad is an ideal choice. With as much as 38 grams of protein and just 6 grams of carbohydrates, you stick to the strict high-protein, low-carb guidelines. The combination of lean protein and fibre-rich vegetables keeps you full longer, so you breeze through the afternoon without hunger.
Lovely on a bed of rocket, as in this recipe, or served in crispy lettuce leaves as a handy wrap. A few slices of cucumber or cherry tomatoes on the side make it a complete, fresh meal.
