Directions
Drain the Tuna
- Open the can of tuna and drain off all the liquid (oil or brine). Use a fork to break it apart into flakes in a mixing bowl.
Prepare the Veggies and Egg
- Finely chop the celery, red onion, and hard-boiled egg. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix the Dressing
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine Everything
- Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Add Fresh Herbs
- Stir in the chopped parsley for extra freshness and colour.
Taste and Adjust
- Taste your salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve
- Serve chilled or immediately. You can spoon it onto lettuce leaves, enjoy it with avocado slices, or eat it straight from the bowl.
Serving Suggestions (Optional)
• Serve in a halved avocado bowl
• Use large lettuce leaves as wraps
