Ingredients
- 2 5 oz canned chunk light tuna drained
- ⅓ cup Homemade Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a lighter version
- ¼ tsp celery seeds or 2-3 tbsp finely diced fresh celery
- ½ tsp ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ tsp Himalayan salt to taste

- 2 tbsp red onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp Spring Onions sliced thin
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley minced
- ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice to taste
- 1-2 tbsp homemade pickles and brine/juice
- 1 tsp stone ground mustard optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, add your drained cans of tuna along with all other ingredients and mix everything together. Taste and adjust your seasoning to your preference.
- For the best results let your salad rest in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully combine and meld together.
- Store your salad in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. It is not recommended to freeze tuna salad.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust your tuna salad's flavors and seasoning to suit your personal preference.
- If you like a creamier salad, add more mayonnaise.
- If you like a touch of sweetness in your salad, consider adding either a tsp of finely blended raw cane sugar, or small diced bits of apple or even raisins.
- If you'd like a lighter version, ensure you're using tuna in water, and swap the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt.
