1tablespoonchopped and drained picklessweet or dill
3tablespoonsmayonnaise
½teaspoonblack pepper
⅓cupcheddar cheeseshredded (optional - garnish)
Instructions
Drain tuna and place in a medium size bowl
Using a fork, flake tuna into small pieces
Add remaining ingredients; combine well
Garnish with cheese (optional) and serve as a salad or sandwich
Notes
When you drain the tuna, you do not have to use a colander; just take the lid off and press it down on the fish, then turn the can over and squeeze any excess water or oil. If you do use a colander, use a fine mesh strainer- not big ones or the tuna will slide through them
Add salt last; some brands are salty enough
Squeeze the pickle relish in a paper towel before you add it. This removes excess liquid and prevents your tuna salad from being watery
