Servings: 4
Equipment
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 10 oz cans albacore tuna in water *or any tuna of choice
- 3-4 Tbsp sweet relish *use more as needed
- ½ cup apple, diced
- ¼ cup celery, diced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise *use more as needed
- bread of choice
- romain lettuce
Instructions
- Rinse the tuna in a mesh strainer. This is optional, but I highly recommend it, my mom does it this way and it gives the albacore tuna a lighter flavor and lowers the sodium a bit.
- Shake any excess water off the tuna. Add the rinsed tuna to a large bowl. Add the relish in, using a fork, mash the relish into the tuna a bit to mix and release the flavors.
- Add the diced apples, celery and mayonnaise. Give it a taste, add more relish or mayo as desired. Build your wrap, sandwich or lettuce cup.
Notes
Recipe Tips
- Rinse the tuna and ensure excess water is drained, shaken off or you can gently squeeze the tuna chunks to ensure no water is left.
- Taste as you go! You may want extra relish or mayonnaise so I always suggest tasting as you go.
- Serve it on your favorite toasted breads or wraps. Or make it low carb and serve on a lettuce cup.
- Make it healthier, use plain greek yogurt if desired.
