    This Tuna salad recipe is easy lunch it could be done before to eat throughout the week. Made with flaked canned tuna, celery, onion, pickles and mayonnaise, it’s refreshing and satisfying.

    I love an easy lunch sandwich, from my classic chicken salad to ham and cheese; This tuna salad recipe is no exception.

    Holly’s Recipe Highlights. Classic tuna salad

    • Why do it? Tuna salad is quick and easy to make, while versatile enough to add any of your favorite ingredients.
    • Service offers. Make ahead and serve lunch with sandwiches or crackers as a snack.

    Total time. 15 minutes Services: 4: Cooking method: Frozen

    Ingredients for tuna salad

    pickles, lemon juice, green onions, Dijon, mayonnaise, tuna, celery, salt and pepper to make a classic tuna salad
    • TunaI prefer water-packed tuna over oil-packed tuna because it’s lighter, but you can use any variety. Solid tuna has larger chunks and solid tuna has smaller chunks.
    • To get dressed. The pattern is really simple and uses mayonnaise as a base. Lemon juice and a bit of Dijon mustard add a bit of tang.
    • AdditionsChopped celery, chopped pickles and chopped green onions add flavor and crunch.

    The best variations

    • Lighten up this salad a bit by replacing some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
    • Add fresh herbs (such as flat-leaf parsley or dill).
    • For extra crunch, try diced red bell pepper or red onion.
    • Top this salad with capers, chopped olives, or dried cranberries.
    • Add a chopped hard-boiled egg to make the salad stronger.
