How do you make tuna taste good?

The best part of Tuna Salad is there are so many options and ways to make the recipe even better. You can always prep your own tuna. But you can use canned tuna, and it is absolutely wonderful. The key to tuna is keeping it simple and classic. With tuna less is more, so use classic ingredients, and don’t try to reinvent the wheel.

What makes Tuna Salad “Classic”

In my opinion, the “Classic” part is all about using those age-old ingredients. I love making tuna salad like my grandma used to make. Don’t get me wrong, I like to spice it up from time to time but sometimes you just want, well for lack of better words…a classic tuna salad.

For my Classic Tuna Salad, I add, onion, dill pickles or relish, mayo, and you can’t forget the eggs. I also like to add a little mustard, but I know that is a controversial item. If you like mustard though, I highly recommend you give it a shot. The best part of is, if you don’t like something, just don’t add it

Best Ways to Eat Tuna Salad

There are so many ways to eat tuna salad. Some of my favorites are on crackers, or a good piece of wheat toast. You can also top a fresh salad mix or greens with a spoonful, or just eat it in a bowl by itself. It really is so versatile. This is why I love to make a big batch and repurpose it in so many different ways.

What the Hack

I know what you have been waiting for… the hack. Well, I am about to spill the beans on how I make this recipe even easier. The best way I have found to make tuna salad is to use a food processer. You can add in all your ingredients and saves you the mess of using a cutting board. It also saves so much time on prepping all the ingredients. This food processor hack is a real game changer.

I have a small food processor that also comes with several other attachments. I use this thing all the time. From making cheese balls to tacos, it does all the hard work for me. The best part is you can pop the whole food processor in the fridge and you don’t even have to dirty up a bowl.
