Add some chopped vegetables to the tuna salad for extra flavor and texture. Good options include celery, onion, red bell pepper, and cucumber.
Use a light mayonnaise or yogurt-based dressing for the tuna salad. This will help to keep the salad light and refreshing.
If you are using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
Serve the tuna salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
