1
Classic Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, mayonnaise, and dijon mustard. Add diced celery, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and diced dill pickle. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir until well combined.
💡 You can substitute parsley with chives, dill, or other herbs. Use relish instead of dill pickles for a different flavor profile.
2
Spicy Asian Tuna Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Add diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped carrots. Mix well. Sprinkle in toasted sesame seeds and roasted dried seaweed, then finish with ground black pepper and mix again.
💡 Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level. The seaweed adds a unique flavor and crunch.
3
Creamy Avocado Tuna Salad: In a large mixing bowl, mash one medium avocado with Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Add drained tuna, diced red onion, diced celery, and diced dill pickles. Fold in chopped dill and chopped chives, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salad before refrigerating. Best enjoyed the same day.
4
Apple Grape Tuna Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Add diced celery, diced green apple, and sliced grapes. Fold in chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Using a tart apple like Granny Smith provides a nice crispness. This is a refreshing summer-style snack.
