Ways to Make Tuna Salad Better
Canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise isn’t bad, along with whatever else you’re eating with it. But I’ve added some things to the mixture itself that make it significantly more delicious.
Diced celery, salt, and black pepper are standard. I’ve also added things like…
- diced raw red onion (white onion works, too)
- lemon or lime juice (add a little at a time till you like the taste)
- cottage cheese (you don’t really taste it, and it’s a lot healthier than mayonnaise!)
- a little bit of dijon mustard (again, to your taste)
- a little bit of cayenne pepper (because I add that to everything)
- minced parsley
You can add some or all of these, depending on what you’ve got. Then, try adding craisins to your sandwich or salad—so unexpectedly good.
