Ingredients
  

  • Chunk Light Tuna in Water – 2 cans 12 oz total, drained well
  • Mayonnaise – 1/4 cup use light mayonnaise for fewer calories
  • Celery – 1/2 cup finely chopped
  • Red Onion – 1/4 cup finely chopped
  • Dijon Mustard – 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon Juice – 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black Pepper – to taste

Instructions
 

  • Drain The Tuna: Start by draining the chunk light tuna thoroughly. This step is crucial to avoid a watery salad.
  • Chop The Veggies: Finely chop the celery and red onion. This ensures an even distribution of crunch and flavor in every bite.
  • Mix The Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped vegetables, a generous dollop of mayonnaise, a hint of Dijon mustard, and a squeeze of lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill The Salad: Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This enables the flavors to harmoniously blend together.
