5- ounce can of tuna, 1/3 cup mayo, 1 green onion, 1 stalk of celery, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, kosher salt
You can serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
My favorite way to serve is on top of thickly sliced tomato that has been sprinkled with kosher salt.
1 large tomato
As always, lots of tips, FAQs and substitution info in the Recipe Notes!
Tuna: My go-to tuna is Wild Planet Skipjack Tuna. But any tuna would work. You could even use canned salmon or canned chicken!
Mayonnaise: If you're not a mayonnaise lover, check out my avocado tuna salad that is mayo free!
Onion: I love the mild flavor of green onions in this, but you could also use red or yellow onion that is finely chopped
Dill: I always love fresh dill. You could use dried dill, but start with just 1 teaspoon and then add more to taste (dried dill is stronger tasting than fresh). Or substitute fresh parsley!
Serving: My favorite is on thickly sliced summer tomatoes. I've also scooped up the tuna with celery, cucumber slices or bell pepper slices. Also good in butter lettuce or on romaine lettuce. Use what you have!
