Ingredients
Scale
Tuna Salad
- 2 cans Tuna, rinsed and drained, squeezed of all water
- 6 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 oz Chives
- 1 oz Basil Leaves
- 1.5 tbsp Fresh Dill
- 2 cloves Garlic or 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Lemon, juiced
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna: Rinse and drain the tuna using a fine mesh sieve, pressing out all excess water. Transfer the drained tuna to a mixing bowl.
- Make the Green Goddess Mayonnaise: In a high-speed blender, combine mayonnaise, chives, basil leaves, fresh dill, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until fully smooth and the mixture turns a light green color. If you don’t have a blender, finely chop the herbs and garlic, mix into mayonnaise, then add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it sit to meld flavors if using this method.
- Combine Tuna and Dressing: Mix the green goddess mayonnaise thoroughly with the prepared tuna until well combined.
- Serve: Spoon the tuna salad onto toasted bread or crackers and enjoy immediately or as desired.
Notes
- To make a tuna melt, spread the tuna salad on bread, top with Swiss or Muenster cheese, and cook in an air fryer, toaster oven, or regular oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
- The blending process helps to break down herbs and infuse the mayo with their flavors, giving the salad a smooth texture and vibrant color.
- You can adjust salt and pepper to taste after mixing for preferred seasoning level.
