Notes

For a creamier texture, consider mixing in mashed avocado or Greek yogurt. This salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just keep it covered to maintain freshness. Feel free to customize by adding other vegetables or using herbs based on your preference. If you're avoiding mayo, this recipe is a great alternative that keeps the tuna salad fresh and flavorful without it.
