Tuna salad.

I big ol' puffy heart tuna salad.

I have ever since I was a kid and it is really one of my favorite quick and easy lunches for the days when I am working and feel like I am going a million miles an hour in ten different directions.

Which is most days really, but, now that I am on keto, and reallllllly trying to be a good girl. I need to have some super safe lunch ideas that I can grab and go with while my brain is on autopilot,

So I started poking around to see if I could manipulate tuna salad, one of my standard faves, into a keto lunch that I could nibble on, or have a ton of, without any guilt.

TADA!!

Now I can grab a couple of these super cute little artisanal romaine lettuce leaves, or one regular leaf if you can't find these guys, pile on my tuna salad, and get on with my day with a happy tummy!
