Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 medium apple (crisp and sweet, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) red onion
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Open and drain the canned tuna, then transfer the tuna to a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to break the pieces into small, flaky chunks.
Wash and core the apple. Dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Wash and finely chop the celery stalks for a light crunch.
Finely dice the red onion to add a sharp, tangy flavor to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together curry powder, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the diced apple, celery, and red onion to the bowl with the tuna.
Pour the curry dressing into the tuna mixture and gently fold everything together until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or curry powder to your liking.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Curry Apple Tuna Salad can be served on its own, in a sandwich, with crackers, or over a bed of greens.
