Tuna Salad

This is an old fashioned staple but one of our favorites. The key for great tuna salad are some important ingredients, such as celery for crunch, mustard for some sharpness, pickle relish for sweetness, and dill for some tang.
You can use this to make sandwiches, tuna melts, go carb free serving it on a lettuce leaf, or one of our favorites it to core out a tomato and stuff it with Tuna Salad.

Prep Time 15 minutes mins

Wait Time 3 hours hrs

Total Time 3 hours hrs 15 minutes mins

Ingredients

  

• 2 5 oz cans of tuna
• ¼ to ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 stalk of celery chopped
• 2-3 tablespoons of red or white onion finely diced
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 2-3 Tbsp Sweet pickle relish
• Dill and parsley to taste
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Drain the tuna completely (I like to squeeze the top of the can to get all of the water out, wet tuna makes a soggy salad).
• Place the tuna into a bowl and break it up with a fork.
• Add the mayo, a little goes a long way and you don’t want the salad to gloppy.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Chill for at least 30 minutes, preferably 3 hours, for the best flavor.
