A few pantry staples are all you need to make the Best Tuna Salad! A delightful crunch from the celery, a little sharpness from the red onion, creamy mayonnaise, tuna, and fresh herbs make a heavenly combination. It’s a satisfying recipe that comes together in less than 5 minutes.
And it’s a very forgiving recipe. Use any canned or jarred tuna packed in water. Just be sure to drain it very well. Add any herbs you like or have on hand. You can either use store-bought mayo or make your own with our easy recipe. Serve the salad with your favorite crackers, spoon it over crusty toast, wrap it in lettuce, or eat it out of the bowl. Or just do what I did: Make it into a croissant sandwich. It’s terrific!
To make the Best Tuna Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
To a mixing bowl, add the drained tuna, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 diced celery stalk, 2 tablespoons diced red onion, 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley, ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Stir together until well combined.
Serve and enjoy!
