Here are the keys to making the very best tuna salad you’ll have! It’s an easy lunch or dinner on a lettuce wrap, sandwich, or with crackers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 5-ounce can white meat tuna
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute an additional 1 tablespoon mayonnaise)
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice 
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Drain the tuna. Place it in a bowl and use a fork to break apart any large clumps.
  2. Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
  3. Mix together the tuna and vegetables with the remaining ingredients.* Eat immediately or store for up to 5 days.
