Quick & Easy Tuna Lunch Mix

High in protein, heart-healthy fats & flavour-packed

If you’re a tuna lover (or just looking to add more lean protein to your diet), this simple tuna mix needs a spot in your lunch rotation. As a dietitian, I love tuna for its convenience, affordability, and nutritional punch—it’s rich in protein, omega-3s, and makes a satisfying base for a balanced lunch.

There are endless ways to make a tuna mix (you’ll find a few variations on our site!), but this one’s a staple: fresh, flavourful, and ready in minutes.

Perfect for work lunches:
Pack it in our 2-compartment stainless steel lunchbox—tuna mix on one side, crackers on the other—to keep everything crisp and mess-free.

🧂 Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 2 x 95g tins tuna in spring water, drained

• 2 tbsp tinned corn kernels, rinsed and drained

• 1 baby cucumber, finely diced

• ¼ avocado, diced

• 3 thin slices red onion, finely diced

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

• ~1/4 cup mayonnaise (or swap in Greek yoghurt, or use half-half for a lighter option)

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• Salt & pepper, to taste

🥣 Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl.

2. Stir well to combine.

3. Spoon onto your favourite crispbread (try multigrain corn thins, Vita-Weats, or Ryvitas).

Bonus idea: Use it to fill a ciabatta roll with cheddar and rocket or baby spinach—then toast until golden. So good!
