This tuna salad is creamy, delicious, flavorful and incredibly easy to make.

A can of tuna is a kitchen staple that can be used to prepare several dishes, but the most commonly prepared dish is a tuna salad. Tuna salad is an excellent choice for an appetizer or lunch. It is typically made with canned tuna, mayonnaise, and onion. While the traditional tuna salad is delicious, there are many ways to jazz up this straightforward dish.

HOW TO MAKE TUNA SALAD

1. In a small bowl, add mayo, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to form your dressing.

2. Mix until well combined.

3. Drain your canned tuna, add it to a separate bowl, and use a fork to break your tuna into smaller pieces.

4. Next, add in your diced celery, red onion, and your dressing to your tuna.

5. Mix until well combined.

6. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour and enjoy.

VARIATIONS

You can opt for green onion instead of red onion.

You can replace lemon juice with vinegar.

Substitute celery for celery seed if you want the celery flavor without the crunch.

Swap Mayo for Greek yogurt for a healthier option. This will have the same creaminess but will result in a slightly different taste.

HOW TO SERVE IT

Serve your tuna with bread to make a delicious sandwich. I personally love having it with brioche bread as it enhances the flavor.

You can also top it on some crackers and have it as a quick snack or as an appetizer.

For a low carb or keto friendly option, make a wrap using lettuce or serve it on a bed of salad greens.

HOW TO STORE IT

Store your tuna salad in an airtight container and it will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.
