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.

The Best Tuna Salad

tuna

celery

red onion,

flat-leaf parsley

mayonnaise

whole-grain mustard

black pepper

lemon juice (optional)

In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using. 

It's pretty good. I only had parsley flakes and didn't have sweet relish so I diced up 2 bread and butter pickle slices. 

Super great recipe! Me and my wife love it! I usually make a double batch. Highly recommend to try.

Loved it!  The Dijon mustard and lemon juice quieted the fishy taste I usually get when making tuna salad.

This is a classic recipe that my mother used, I prefer Albacore Tuna  in oil (drained) double the celery and parsley, add white with the black pepper fresh lemon juice a must.

Truth a this doesn't taste as good as my own homemade recipe, which is t add salt, pepper, celery, onion, boiled egg, mayo, a fresh heb and sometimes a little crumbled Ritz crackers all to taste.

Very good, light and fresh. I used a little less mayo. Easy to make and must use Albacore tuna  

Yum! I added a dash of sirarcha to the original.  

Awesome! I tried the chefs tip and added Dijon and sweet relish, turned out great!

BEST TUNA SALAD RECIPE | easy & healthy

What makes the best ever tuna sandwich? It's all in the combination of ingredients—the best tuna you can find, cottage cheese and mayo, and good use of fresh dill, parsley, and more. 

Best Ever Tuna Salad Sandwich

(5 tuna fish

cottage cheese

red onion

celery stalk, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

capers

lemon juice

dill

bread,

Lettuce and sliced tomatoes (optional)

"Do you use small or large curd cottage cheese, and is it the thicker consistency, or the kind with more liquid?\r\nThanks! I am making this tomorrow."

"This recipe has become my go-to recipe for tuna salad. It is so delicious and so much better than the plain tuna salad I grew up eating. It takes a little more effort to make, but it’s worth it. The fresh parsley and capers make it taste so fresh! The only thing I change is that I use lime juice instead of lemon, simply due to personal preference. My husband says I’m obsessed and teases me because I eat 3 of them at a time! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing. This has become a family recipe for us."

Mix: In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients until combined.

Serve: Serve tuna salad on toast, either open faced, or in a regular sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. For a low carb option, serve on sliced lettuce.

"Looking at the ingredients, I knew I had to try this! The interesting combination of ingredients was delicious! I do like relish and diced dill pickles in mine for a bit of sweetness and crunch, absolutely perfect!"

"Fantastic!! I love tuna but was really bored with every day tuna salad and was looking for something to up the flavor. First time I made had everything but the capers and knew I would miss that flavor. Have since bought capers and have followed this to the T and it is soooo good! So glad I found this recipe.  Need to try it with tuna packed in oil (have been adding extra virgin olive oil and use mayonnaise with olive oil). Never liked it as a kid, but maybe time to try again. Thanks!"

"I’ve made this three times now and we love it more each time."

Drain the olive oil from the tuna can. You can even pat dry the tuna bits with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid

Chop the red bell pepper and celery, and depending on the green leaves you use, slice those too.
