Tips

Instead of canned tuna, you can use any fish 🐟 of your choice. There are plenty of options available, such as canned sardines, pink salmon, mackerel, and more.


To make the dressing separately, take the canned tuna oil in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Then, pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.


Feel free to add other veggies, seasonings, or even a light dressing to suit your taste. Customize this salad with your favorite leafy greens, like spinach or arugula, and top it with extras like avocado🥑. I've used just a few simple ingredients that are commonly available at home for everyday cooking, but you can easily adjust the recipe. Add any dressing you like, or include ingredients such as mayonnaise, minced garlic🧄, chopped onion, cheese🧀, or anything else you have on hand.


This tuna fish salad can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge, making it a convenient option for meal prepping or packing lunches for the week. However, if you're serving it to guests, it's best to keep the chopped lettuce separate in a bowl and not mix it until it's time to serve. This will prevent the salad greens from getting soggy. Just before serving, toss the lettuce with the other ingredients.
