1 5-ounce can white meat tuna
1/4 cup finely chopped celery

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Look for albacore or skipjack tuna that is packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as it will make your salad greasy.
  • Flake the tuna well. This will help to distribute the tuna evenly throughout the salad and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Some good options include celery, onion, cucumber, and carrot.
  • Add some herbs and spices. This will help to brighten up the flavor of the salad. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
  • Use a good mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will help to bind the salad together and make it creamy. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, as it will make your salad dry.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help to firm up the salad and make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious tuna salad that is sure to please everyone at your table.
