Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned Tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Red Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Dill Pickle (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 large leaves Romaine Lettuce Leaves
Instructions
Open the cans of tuna and drain the water completely. Transfer the tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl and flake it apart with a fork to separate the pieces.
Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the tuna. Stir until the tuna is well coated and the mixture is creamy.
Add the finely chopped celery, red onion, and dill pickle to the tuna mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients well, ensuring an even distribution of vegetables for texture and crunch.
Pour in the lemon juice, and sprinkle the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper over the tuna salad. Mix everything together until combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if desired.
Prepare the serving plates by placing large romaine lettuce leaves on each plate. Spoon the tuna salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves, dividing equally between the servings.
Serve immediately for best flavor. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill or a slice of lemon on the side for presentation.
