Customizable Tuna Salad Recipe

I find tuna salad to be one of those things that people have a preference on how they like to make it.

Growing up, my mom always made it with canned tuna, onions, celery, hardboiled egg and lots of mayo. It was a family favorite.

These days, this super simple tuna salad recipe is how I make it for my family. However, it is easy to completely customize to your liking.

For example, you could make the following changes –

  • Sub regular mustard for dijon
  • Replace the mustard with greek yogurt or mayo if you prefer it creamy
  • Add diced onions
  • Omit the pickles if they aren’t your thing
