Instructions:
- Prepare Tuna:
- Open the tuna cans, drain the liquid, and transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl.
- Chop Ingredients:
- Finely chop the celery and hard-boiled eggs. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
- Add Nuts:
- Add the chopped nuts to the bowl. This adds a nice crunch and additional healthy fats.
- Mix In Mayo:
- Spoon in the mayonnaise, starting with about 1/4 cup, and adjust according to your taste preferences. If you like a creamier texture, you can add more mayo.
- Season:
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add Dijon mustard for an extra kick.
- Combine:
- Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the tuna too much; you want to maintain some texture.
- Adjust Consistency:
- If the salad seems too dry, you can add more mayo. If it’s too wet, you can add more tuna or adjust as needed.
- Chill:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tuna salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, serve the tuna salad on a bed of lettuce, in a low-carb wrap, or enjoy it on its own. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
