Instructions

Prep the ingredients. Drain the liquid from the tuna cans. Then, add the tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery and red onions, herbs, Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper to a mixing bowl.
Mix the salad. Stir all of the ingredients together until well combined.
Enjoy the tuna salad plain out of a bowl, wrapped in lettuce, or in a sandwich. I've got more ideas above!

Notes

If you'd like a creamier texture you can always add more mayonnaise.
My favorite tuna is albacore tuna and I always purchase Wild Planet brand.
Storage tip: Tuna salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Since it contains fish and mayonnaise, avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
