Ingredients
Four 5-ounce cans of tuna (drained)
1 cup of mayonnaise (or less, to taste)
1/3 cup finely chopped celery (about 1 rib)
2 tablespoons minced onion (about 2 small slices)
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (or dill relish/minced dill pickles as substitutes)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First: combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, relish, lemon juice, and minced garlic in the bowl.
2-Stir everything well to make sure the ingredients are evenly mixed, which helps the tastes come together nicely.
3-Season with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, tasting as you go to get it just right.
4-Serve right away for a fresh meal, or cover and chill it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
5-For variations, try using water-packed tuna that’s labeled dolphin-safe, or reduce the mayo if you’re working with oil-packed tuna to keep it light.
