Cooking Tips

Choose High-Quality Tuna:
Choose light tuna or skipjack tuna as a lower mercury option.
Balance Creaminess:
You can use a combination of Greek yogurt and mayo for a lighter option.
Enhance Flavour with Herbs:
Fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or cilantro can add a burst of flavor to your tuna salad. Experiment with different combinations to suit your taste.
Experiment with Mustard:
Dijon or whole-grain mustard can add a tangy kick to your tuna salad. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference..
Season Well:
You may also consider garlic powder, onion powder, or other seasonings.
Chill Before Serving:
Allow the tuna salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps meld the flavors and enhances the overall taste.
