Apple Tuna Salad Recipe
Description
The Apple Tuna Salad Recipe features drained tuna combined with diced onion, tart apple, creamy avocado, and nuts toasted until golden. Mixing these ingredients with mayonnaise and lemon juice adds creaminess and a slight acidity that balances the flavors. The finely diced onion adds texture and sharpness, while black pepper seasons the salad subtly. It is important to drain the tuna thoroughly to avoid excess moisture, which would water down the salad. This salad works well served chilled, either on its own or as a sandwich or wrap filling, making for a refreshing and satisfyingly textured dish.
Ingredients
- 20 oz tuna four, 5-oz cans), well drained, in water
- 1 onion 1 1/3 cup finely diced, medium
- 1 apple seeded and diced, medium, Granny Smith
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled and diced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise or added to taste, real
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice or to taste, fresh
- 1/2 cup almonds toasted, sliced or chopped walnuts
- 1/8 tsp black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Toast nuts on a dry skillet until golden. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- To drain tuna, I open the lid then press it down firmly over the tuna to drain off as much water as I can squeeze out. If your tuna is too wet, your salad will be wet.
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of black pepper and 1/2 tsp lemon juice, or to taste. Add mayo to taste.
