Best ways to enjoy it

Now that you’ve prepared your Tuna Salad Breakfast, let’s talk about how to serve it. For a healthier option, serve it over a bed of fresh lettuce — it adds a wonderful crunch and freshness. If you prefer something heartier, try it on whole-grain bread or toasted sourdough. Pair it with sliced tomatoes or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal. A sprinkle of fresh herbs on top also adds a nice touch!

Storage and reheating tips

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare with this delightful dish!), storing your tuna salad is easy. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last for up to 2-3 days. When reheating, ensure any toppings (like lettuce or bread) are kept separate to maintain their crispness. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it still tastes great for a couple of days.
