No matter how creative or spontaneous or inventive to be with my weekday lunches, a simple tuna salad sandwich is lunchtime comfort food. Has it been a while since you last had tuna salad? Here’s the most basic recipe. It’s just about perfect. There’s not much to making tuna salad, just mixes the tuna with mayo and a few cracks of black pepper and calls it good!

Ingredients

  • Pepper

  • Salt

  • 1 tbsp. Pickle relish, optional

  • 1 tbsp. Lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon

  • 1 Small shallot or 1/4 red onion, diced small

  • 1 Rib celery, diced small

  • 4 tbsp. Mayonnaise

  • 5 oz. Water-packed tuna fish

Method

  • 01
    Use a can opener to cut open the cans of tuna fish, but leave the lid in place. Holding the cans over the sink or a bowl, press the lid into the tuna fish and tilt the can to drain all the liquid.
  • 02
    Remove the lids and transfer the tuna fish to a mixing bowl.
  • 03
    Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, celery, shallot, lemon juice, pickle relish, a sprinkle of salt, and a few cracks of fresh black pepper to the tuna fish.
  • 04
    Stir with a fork to combine, breaking up any large chunks of tuna fish as you go. Add more mayo if you'd like smoother, creamier tuna salad.
  • 05
    Taste and add more of any of the ingredients to taste.
  • 06
    Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
