My Favorite Tuna Salad
Ingredients
- 1 6- ounce can water-packed tuna drained
- ¼ of a lemon
- 1 stalk celery diced, about ½ cup
- 1 small shallot diced, about 2 Tablespoons
- 2-3 Tablespoons mayonnaise I like soy-free Vegenaise or half Greek yogurt and half mayo
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
- 3/8 teaspoon Herbamare or sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Right in the can, flake the tuna with a fork over a medium bowl, at the same time allowing the tuna to fall into the bowl. Squeeze the lemon over the tuna.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning.
Notes
