I love some of the deli salads—especially the various tuna salads—at Whole Foods. They’re fresh, gorgeous, and delicious, but they cost more than $10 per pound, and the nearest Whole Foods is more than 30 minutes away from my house, so they're not a reliable option for me.

While steak is a reliably keto-friendly food if you broil, grill, or pan-fry it, once you get into the realm of chicken-fried steak, things get a little trickier. The breading that makes this steak "chicken fried," after all, is the kind of thing you can't eat on a keto diet.

As it turns out, tuna salad doesn’t have to be boring and bland. Or so I recently realized as I’ve started finding new ways to incorporate the canned fish into my meals and snacks. The mayo-heavy, textureless tuna salad that once incited fear as a child (dare I also say…disgust?), has now happily been replaced by rice vinegar-spiked renditions or zesty iterations containing beans.
