Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water or olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
  • Drain the tuna thoroughly: Use a fine-mesh strainer to drain the tuna completely before flaking it. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Use ripe, juicy tomatoes, crisp celery, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve immediately: Tuna salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
