Tuna Salad Arepa — Easy High-Protein Gluten-Free Lunch

Classic tuna salad on a warm arepa — a high-protein lunchbox staple ready in five minutes from pantry ingredients. Pack the tuna salad in a small container on the side and assemble at lunch to keep everything fresh.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
• 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

1. Drain tuna thoroughly and add to a bowl.
2. Mix in mayo, chopped celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Toast arepas until warm and golden.
4. Spoon tuna salad over each arepa.
5. Pack arepa and tuna salad separately if making ahead — assemble at lunchtime.

Why It Works

Tuna salad is one of the most reliably satisfying lunchbox options — protein-rich, filling, and easy to make from cans you already have. On an arepa instead of bread, it is naturally gluten-free and the firmer base means it holds up better through the morning.
