Another lunch staple that gets a boring rap is tuna salad.

These 5 make-ahead lunches lower blood pressure

But you can mix it up a bit and have a great light tuna salad for some extra protein.

Drain one can (170g) of very low sodium tuna and flake into a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise, ¼ cup diced celery, ¼ cup diced red peppers and a dash of black pepper.

Mix everything together, and if you’d like some extra crunch, grate in some carrot.

This makes enough for 4 lunches.

Use it to top low carb bread or eat it on celery spears.

And if you want to switch it up, substitute canned salmon for the tuna.
