Ingredients
- 300 g canned tuna (drained)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 150 ml olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the homemade mayonnaise. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Step 2
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture until the mayonnaise thickens and emulsifies. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Season the mayonnaise with salt and black pepper to taste. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained canned tuna. Break any large chunks with a fork to ensure an even texture.
Step 5
Stir in the homemade mayonnaise until the tuna is well-coated.
Step 6
Add in the chopped fresh parsley, dill pickles, and spring onions. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more lemon juice or salt.
Step 8
Serve the low carb classic tuna mayonnaise with a side of fresh salad, cucumber slices, or in lettuce wraps for a refreshing low-carb meal.
