Tuna Salad

Recipe by: Regina Zona

“Pat loves this tuna salad and begs me to make it often! I always use the substitution listed at the bottom of the recipe – using Dijon and sweet pickle relish instead of the whole grain mustard.”

Ingredients:

  • Two 6-ounce cans white meat tuna packed in water, drained
  • 2 tablespoons minced celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and drained
  • 1 teaspoon minced flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/3 cup prepared mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion, and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using.

Cook’s note: Substitute 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for the whole-grain mustard and add 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
