Chef's Tips

For a spicier tuna salad, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise for a healthier option.

Add other chopped vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper for added crunch and flavor.

If you don't have lemon juice, a small amount of white vinegar can be used as a substitute.
