"A homemade tuna salad is a fresh, nutritious, and delicious way to enjoy lunch or a light dinner, being easy to pack with color, crunch, and protein. While there are some classic methods and ingredients we often see repeated with this dish, there's really no right way to make it. Whether you're opting for a creamy dressing or a light vinaigrette, reaching for convenient canned tuna or a fresh tuna"
"Plenty of well-known chefs have their own takes on tuna salad, while the techniques and flavor combos used in each of their recipes vary greatly. Some amp up the umami richness with anchovies and aromatics, while others throw spicy or zesty elements into the mix. Texture is important too, with crunchy toppings being the go-to for some chefs. Alternatively, there's the option to make things heartier with the addition of beans or roasted versions"
Homemade tuna salad provides a versatile, nutritious option for lunch or a light dinner that can be as simple or elaborate as desired. Tuna can come from a convenient can or from fresh steaks that are grilled or pan-fried for char and pink centers. Dressings range from creamy yogurt-based sauces to light vinaigrettes, while flavor boosters include anchovies, aromatics, spicy or zesty elements, and fresh herbs. Texture choices include crunchy toppings or heartier mix-ins such as beans and roasted vegetables. Bright vegetable layers and herb-forward dressings create colorful, balanced salads with varied mouthfeel.
