Instructions

- Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy it as a dip, in a sandwich, or in lettuce wraps!

Notes
- Use the best tuna: White albacore tuna (especially from Sam’s Club, Bumble Bee, or Starkist) has a firmer texture and better flavor compared to chunk light tuna.
- Drain the tuna really well! This helps prevent a watery tuna salad. Press out as much liquid as possible before mixing.
- Buffalo sauce matters: Use your favorite buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing. They make all the difference in flavor! Frank’s RedHot and Primal Kitchen are great options.
- Want a lighter version? Swap the mayo for Greek yogurt for a high-protein, lower-calorie alternative.
- Make it spicier or milder: Add more buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat, or mix in extra ranch to tone it down.
- Meal prep tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Give it a quick stir before serving!
