Ingredients

Tuna Salad Ingredients

  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna, drained (preferably albacore tuna packed in water)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons diced dill pickles or pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the drained tuna, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, red onion, diced dill pickles or pickle relish, fresh parsley, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is creamy with evenly distributed flavors and textures.
  3. Serve: Enjoy the tuna salad plain, serve it on toast, in a sandwich or wrap, or pair it with crackers or chips for a delicious snack or light meal.

Notes

  • Use albacore tuna packed in water for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt to your preferred creaminess.
  • Freshly chopped vegetables add a nice crunch, so finely chop celery and onion for balanced texture.
  • Add more lemon juice or mustard if a tangier taste is desired.
  • Perfect for meal prep as it keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
