Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (5 oz / 142g each) tuna in water, drained thoroughly
  • 1/3 cup (80g) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15g) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (30g) celery, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp (10g) red onion, minced
  • 1 tbsp (5g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Place the drained tuna in a fine-mesh strainer. Use the back of a spoon or a fork to press down firmly on the tuna for 30 seconds, forcing out every possible drop of excess liquid. Transfer the dry tuna to your mixing bowl.
  2. In a small separate bowl (or directly over the tuna), whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to ensure the dressing is smooth.
  3. Add the diced celery, red onion, and parsley to the tuna.
  4. Pour the dressing over the top. Using a fork, gently fold the ingredients together until the tuna is broken into small flakes and everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
