Tips:

Choose the best tuna: Use high-quality canned tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in brine, as it can be too salty.

Use fresh dill: Fresh dill is essential for this recipe. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the tuna and other ingredients perfectly.
Don't overmix: Once you've added all of the ingredients, mix the tuna salad gently until just combined. Overmixing can make the salad mushy.
Chill before serving: After you've made the tuna salad, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and develop.
