The Perfect Tuna Salad Anytime, Anywhere

Following a precise recipe for tuna salad may feel a little silly. After all, the mix is often a way to make a really awesome sandwich out of whatever’s in your refrigerator and pantry.

Onion and celery may be standard, but sometimes you’re in the mood for green onions and tarragon, or pepperoncini and shallots, or capers and dill. Here’s a formula to transform that tin into something delicious, whether you’re making lunch at home, in a sparsely stocked friend’s kitchen, or at an unfamiliar rental house.
