Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces canned albacore tuna in water
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed greens for serving
Instructions
Open the canned albacore tuna and drain the water completely. Use a fork to flake the tuna into a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and dijon mustard to the bowl with the tuna and mix until well combined, ensuring the tuna is coated evenly.
Carefully fold in the finely chopped celery stalks, red onion, and capers until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the lemon juice and chopped fresh dill to the tuna mixture, and stir gently to combine.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, and mix well. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tuna salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, although it can be served immediately if time is limited.
Before serving, prepare a bed of mixed greens on individual plates or a serving platter.
Spoon the soy-free tuna salad onto the greens and serve immediately.
