Written in 2017:

Quick update on the pantry challenge: I spent another $16 on produce and milk at the store yesterday, which brings my April grocery tab to about $36. However, we’ve been eating eggs like crazy and I’ll have to make a trip to Costco for more (and some non-food related items of course). I don’t know how anyone can afford eggs from anywhere else.

Our mini-vacation trip was awesome and full of mouth-watering food (breakfast buffet with sushi!?), but I was excited to get home and flex my recipe-creating brain.

I’d previously tested out this tuna salad with success, so I decided to go for it. Our pantry had the necessary chickpeas, tuna, and almonds plus all the condiments and spices. Next week might be a bit more of a challenge to find a share-worthy recipe from only what we have… but I can do it!

Tips for making this Veggie-Packed Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad

I like to use two whole cans of wild line-caught Solid White Albacore Tuna from Costco. These cans are 7 ounces each, so perhaps three of the smaller cans would be necessary.
Another requirement: these Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds – THE BEST flavor of almonds in existence. They’re perfect for snacking plain, but I also love them in this tuna salad recipe and other chicken salads. Plus, red grapes give a little sweetness to balance out the smoky flavor from the almonds.
I love dijon mustard. So I added 2 tablespoons to this recipe – sounds like that’s a little too much for some people. I updated the recipe to add only 1 tablespoon of mustard. Feel free to add more if you want!
