  1. Open the cans of tuna (or salmon) and drain any liquid. Transfer the fish to a large mixing bowl. Add all of the ingredients for the tuna salad to the mixing bowl. 
  2. Mix well until everything is combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout. Taste the salad for flavor and add salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice, or hummus to your personal taste.

Notes

  • For me, this recipe makes two servings, but depending on how much you eat, it can be 3 to 4 servings. 
  • If you’re looking to meal prep for several workweek lunches, feel free to double or triple the recipe as it saves very well and is even more flavorful the next day after preparation.
