Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna will have a bright red color and a firm texture. Avoid tuna that is brown or gray, or that has a slimy texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the tuna. A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of tuna.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
- Use a variety of fresh, flavorful ingredients in your tuna salad. Some good options include celery, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. You can also add chopped nuts, seeds, or herbs for extra flavor.
- Use a light mayonnaise or yogurt dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavor of the tuna. You can also use a vinaigrette dressing if you prefer.
- Serve tuna salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
