Ingredients

Tuna salad:

2 5-oz. cans tuna drained, feel free to use shredded chicken instead
1 small pink lady apple (90g) chopped small, with all the bold and tangy flavors going on I think a sweet pink lady apple tastes best with this but any apple variety works!
2 pieces bacon (22g) cooked & crumbled
2 Tbsp dried cranberries (20g) can also use dried cherries
2 Tbsp green onion sliced thin, can sub for red onion (finely diced)

Honey mustard:

2 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt (30g) can also use all mayo if preferred
2 Tbsp light mayo (30g) can use all Greek yogurt if preferred
2 tsp honey (14g)
2 tsp yellow mustard (10g) dijon also works
2 tsp fresh lemon juice (10g)
salt & fresh cracked black pepper a pinch or to taste

Instructions

Combine the honey mustard ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the tuna, apples, bacon, dried cranberries and sliced green onions. Mix everything well. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper or to taste.
Enjoy on a half piece of toast, stuffed in a sandwich, in a lettuce wrap, with crackers or eat straight up!

Notes

Prep tips:

Cook bacon in advance - to have cooked and crumbled when ready!
Drain tuna in advance - use a paper towel to remove excess moisture. We want the tuna completely drained so the tuna salad isn’t liquidy.
Prepare honey mustard - go ahead and mix together the ingredients for the honey mustard. You can also just skip making the honey mustard sub for your favorite
