While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help to firm up the salad and make it more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or greens. This will add an extra layer of freshness and crunch.
