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. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

TUNA SALAD WITH HOT AND SWEET PEPPERS
Inspired by the oil-and-vinegar tuna salads of the Mediterranean, this version includes new-world peppers. Letting thin slices of hot and sweet peppers sit with vinegar and salt for a few minutes gives them a pickled taste without taking away their crispness. It also makes for a sharp dressing when mixed with the olive oil from oil-packed tuna. Celery and parsley bring freshness to this blend, which is wonderful on its own and versatile enough to be spooned over toast or tossed with lettuce or pasta.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna. Opt for tuna that is labeled "solid white" or "chunk light." These grades of tuna have a higher meat content and a milder flavor than lower grades.
- Flake the tuna gently. Avoid over-flaking the tuna, as this can make it tough. Use a fork to gently break the tuna into small pieces.
- Use a variety of mayonnaise. For a classic tuna salad, use a mayonnaise made with olive oil. For a more tangy flavor, use a mayonnaise made with lemon juice or vinegar.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. Classic tuna salad mix-ins include celery, onion, and dill. However, you can also add other ingredients, such as hard-boiled eggs, chopped walnuts, or grapes.
- Season the tuna salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squirt of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
- Chill the tuna salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or a hearty and satisfying dinner, tuna salad is a great option. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect tuna salad every time.
