Instructions

Drain the tuna cans of their water as much as possible.
Place the tuna, celery, and onion into a large bowl and thoroughly mix in the relish, celery salt, and soy sauce and let sit for 10 minutes before adding the mayo.
Add the mayonnaise and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, strain the tuna of all the accumulated water. Add more mayo as required and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

It is recommended to refrigerate overnight. The flavor will be much better and the tuna salad can be thoroughly drained to remove excess water.
Pieces of white bread or crushed crackers can be used to dry up the tuna after draining and remixing the next day.
Leftovers can be saved in the fridge for up to 3 days.
