Ingredients
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Open the cans of tuna and drain them thoroughly. Use a fork to break apart the tuna into small flakes in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, sweet pickle relish, chopped parsley, and lemon juice to the bowl with the tuna.
Step 3
Season with salt and black pepper. Start with 1/4 teaspoon each, and adjust to taste later if needed.
Step 4
Gently fold all the ingredients together using a spoon or spatula until well combined, ensuring the tuna absorbs the dressing and the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled on toasted bread, in a wrap, on top of crisp lettuce leaves, or alongside crackers.
