THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

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.

  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables: The best Cobb salads are made with a variety of fresh, crunchy vegetables. Some good options include romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and bell peppers.
  • Add some protein: In addition to tuna, you can also add other proteins to your Cobb salad, such as grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon.
  • Don't forget the dressing: A good dressing is essential for a flavorful Cobb salad. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. Some popular options include ranch dressing, Thousand Island dressing, and vinaigrette.
