I’m excited to bring a new savory recipe to you! While tuna salad might seem boring or unoriginal, I am proud to finally bring you the BEST tuna salad recipe (at least, in my personal opinion!). I’ve been on a quest the past few months to re-create my favorite tuna salad, which I used to get at least once/week at the café at work. However, with working from home much more in 2020…I wanted to make tuna salad at home that tasted like the one from work that I liked so much! This tuna salad is fresh yet creamy, and bursting with different textures to make it so tasty and satisfying. Trust me, this tuna salad is anything but boring but definitely nothing crazy or complicated either.

Ingredients
  • 2 (5 ounce containers) tuna, drained (I’ve also used two 6 ounce containers, so 10-12 ounces)
  • ¾ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¾ cup finely copped celery
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons relish
  • ⅓ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (can sub mayonnaise)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, finely diced
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl or Tupperware container, mix together all ingredients until combined!
  2. Store in fridge and eat with crackers, bread, lettuce, etc.
  3. For tuna melt, simply toast bread, English muffin, etc. Then top with a THICK layer of tuna salad, and cheese of choice. Then either broil in oven for a few minutes until cheese is melted, or can also put in an air-fryer for a couple minutes to melt cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
