Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine.
  • If you're using fresh tuna, cook it gently so that it doesn't become dry. You can poach, grill, or bake tuna.
  • Use a variety of crisp vegetables in your salad. Some good options include celery, carrots, cucumbers, and radishes.
  • Add some chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good choices.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing for your salad. A simple vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing are both good options.
  • Serve your salad immediately, or chill it for later.
