Kelly, LowSoRecipes.comThis low sodium tuna salad is a creamy, crunchy, delicious no-salt-added lunch or snack. Made with lower sodium tuna, crunchy celery and bell peppers, and a sweet & tangy dressing.
A great lunch recipe to enjoy as a salad or sandwich, or to eat with crackers. A classic high-protein recipe you can make with healthier ingredient swaps.
I love this fantastic low salt tuna salad recipe for when I want a quick and easy lunch recipe. If you have canned tuna (the no-salt-added variety) and a few simple ingredients, this recipe comes together in about 10 minutes.
Regular canned tuna can have lots of added salt and preservatives, upping the sodium content. Choosing a low- or -no-salt-added canned tuna is great to use in easy and quick recipes like this.

Low Sodium Lunches You’ll Feel Good About Eating
This high protein low sodium tuna salad makes a fantastic lunch or light dinner recipe. I love prepping a bit batch of tuna salad and portioning it out into individual air-tight containers for the week. I grab one, and pack it in my lunch bag.
This tuna salad is high in protein and is hearty enough to keep me full until dinner, which keeps me from snacking in between meals. Stay on track with a healthy diet, and browse all our low sodium lunch recipes here!
What’s In This No Salt Added Tuna Salad
I love shopping for fresh produce through Misfits Market – they sell groceries, healthy pantry staples, and fantastic food finds (like meat and dairy) at a discounted price. Choose what goes into the box, save up to 40% off grocery store prices & save time with free delivery to your door!
- No-Salt-Added Canned Tuna – there are lots of no-salt-added canned tuna brands out there. This tuna you can get online has 65mg of sodium for the entire can, which makes it a great healthy choice.
- Celery
- Bell Pepper
- Greek Yogurt – make sure it’s plain and unsweetened! You can use a fat free Greek yogurt like this one (it’s our favorite!) or a full fat yogurt too. A healthier, lower-sodium swap
- Low Sodium Sweet Relish – to give this dish a little extra sweetness. I love this classic sweet relish which has a nice crunch and a sweet and tangy flavor – just 60mg of sodium per serving.
- Mustard Powder: I love adding this mustard powder to this recipe instead of traditional mustard (which can contain extra sodium). The mustard powder adds a nice sharpness and tang to the tuna – and has 0mg sodium!
- Onion Powder: adds a delicious and savory flavor to this dish as well, and the onion powder pairs nicely with the tuna.
How Do I Make This Low Sodium Salad with Tuna?
- In a mixing bowl, add the tuna, celery, bell pepper, yogurt, sweet relish, mustard powder, and onion powder.
