Key Ingredients for Perfect Tuna Salad

  • Canned Tuna: Choose high-quality tuna in water with dolphin-safe certification for the best flavor and texture. Both canned and pouch varieties work excellently. For richer taste, try oil-packed tuna and reduce mayonnaise accordingly.
  • Mayonnaise: This creamy tuna salad recipe uses generous mayo for ultimate richness. Begin with ¼ cup for lighter texture, then adjust to your preferred consistency.
  • Pickle Relish: Sweet pickle relish adds the perfect tangy crunch. Easily customize with dill relish or finely chopped dill pickles for a more savory flavor profile.
