1.Drain & Flake the Tuna:Squeeze out excess liquid.

Empty the tuna into a medium mixing bowl. Press out any excess liquid using a fork, then gently flake the meat into bite-sized pieces.

2.Build the Salad:Combine remaining base ingredients.

Add the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, finely diced celery, and finely diced red onion to the bowl. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.

3.Mix Gently:Avoid overmixing.

Stir everything together just until evenly combined—do not overmix, or the tuna will lose its texture and turn pasty.

4.Taste & Adjust:Personalize flavor.

Sample the salad and tweak the salt, pepper, mayo, or lemon juice to your taste. Fold in any desired optional mix-ins.

5.Chill Before Serving:Melds flavors together.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

  • Squeeze it Dry: Thoroughly draining and pressing liquid out of the tuna prevents watery dressing and keeps the salad rich and creamy.

  • Tuna Types: Use albacore for a mild flavor and firm bite, or skipjack/light tuna for a stronger, classic tuna taste.

  • Serving Ideas: Enjoy piled on toasted bread, stuffed into a pita pocket, scooped over mixed greens, or paired with crunchy crackers.
