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:
- Choose the right tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil. Water-packed tuna is a healthier option, as it is lower in calories and fat. Olive oil-packed tuna has a richer flavor, but it is higher in calories and fat.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of your tuna salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that is made with artificial ingredients.
- Add some crunch. Adding some chopped celery, onion, or pickles to your tuna salad will give it a nice crunch. You can also add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds.
- Season to taste. Be sure to season your tuna salad to taste. You may want to add some salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard.
- Chill before serving. Tuna salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served on sandwiches, crackers, or lettuce wraps. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or chips. No matter how you choose to serve it, tuna salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
