Ingredients

Tuna Salad

4 cans (4-5 oz each) chunk white albacore tuna packed in water, drained well
¾ cup mayonnaise
¾ cup celery finely diced
¼ cup red onion heaping cup, finely diced
¼ cup sweet pickle relish
1 ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Serving

Bread
Lettuce & Tomato

Instructions

Place the tuna in a fine mesh sieve and press down with the back of a fork or spoon to drain as much liquid from the tuna as possible. (The key to a really good, flavorful tuna salad is to make sure your tuna is completely drained of all liquid).
4 cans (4-5 oz each) chunk white albacore tuna
After draining, leave the tuna in the sieve and set it aside to continue to let it drain while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a medium size bowl combine the remaining ingredients (mayo, celery, onion, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper) and stir to thoroughly combine.
¾ cup mayonnaise, ¾ cup celery, ¼ cup red onion, ¼ cup sweet pickle relish, 1 ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Add in the drained tuna and fold it into the mayo mixture until combined.
To serve, cut a croissant in half or lightly toast your bread of choice. Top with a generous amount of tuna salad, lettuce, tomato and cheese (optional).

Notes

Recipe Tips to Remember:

Use a high quality Chunk White Albacore Tuna, see the list above.

Buy tuna packed in water, not oil.

Thoroughly drain the water from the tuna for the most flavor.

Dice the onions and celery so they are not huge chunks in the mix.

Use a high quality mayonnaise for best flavor (Hellmann's or Aldi Brand).
