Ingredients
2 cans (5 ounces each) wild albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
1 stalk diced celery
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or chives
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First, drain the 2 cans of wild albacore tuna and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break up the tuna to your desired texture, ensuring itβs not too chunky or too fine.
2-Next, add the 1/4 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, which helps bind the ingredients while keeping things creamy and light.
3-Then, incorporate the 1 stalk of diced celery and the 2 tablespoons of diced red onion for a satisfying crunch. Stir in the 1 to 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to bring in that fresh, bright taste. Donβt forget the 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard for a zesty kick, along with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.
4-Once all ingredients are in the bowl, mix everything thoroughly with a fork until well combined. Taste and adjust as needed for example, add more mayonnaise for extra creaminess or extra herbs for more flavor. For serving, you can enjoy it plain, in sandwiches, wrapped in lettuce leaves, or on salads, making it a flexible option for any meal.
