Canned Tuna Salad:
- 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 stalk of celery, diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, chives, and/or other herbs
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Drain the liquid from the tuna cans. Then, add the tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery and red onions, herbs, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl.
- Mix the salad: Stir all of the ingredients together until well combined.
- Enjoy: Serve the tuna salad plain out of a bowl, wrapped in lettuce, or in a sandwich. Get creative with how you enjoy it!
Notes
- If you’d like a creamier texture, you can always add more mayonnaise.
- My favorite tuna is albacore tuna, and I always purchase Wild Planet brand.
- Storage tip: Tuna salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Due to containing fish and mayonnaise, avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
