For a quick high protein lunch that's baby led weaning friendly, whip up this simple tuna salad! With just a few ingredients like Greek yogurt and egg, this tuna salad is healthy and great for BLW, babies eating finger foods and toddlers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5 oz.) can of tuna, drained
  • 1 hard boiled egg, peeled (see notes)
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped pickles (optional)
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Drain tuna and place in a bowl. Use a fork to break up the chunks of tuna.
  2. Use a coarse grater to grate the boiled egg. Finely chop the pickles, if using. Add to the bowl with the tuna.
  3. Add the yogurt and dijon mustard to the bowl. Stir to combine well, making sure there are no large chunks. Add more yogurt if the mixture seems dry.
  4. Refrigerate in an airtight container until you're ready to serve.

Notes

  • To serve for baby led weaning: spread onto lightly toasted bread 'fingers', or serve on it's own, either on a preloaded soft spoon, or on a rimmed plate, allowing baby to scoop it up with fingers.
  • To boil the egg: My favorite method for hard boiling eggs is to place them in a small pan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat, cover with a lid and let sit for exactly 10 minutes. Then drain, rinse with cool water and let cool to the touch before peeling.
  • For egg-free, omit the egg.
