How to make Tuna Salad
Open the can of tuna and drain it well. Add the tuna to a medium bowl and break it apart with a fork.
Add the mayonnaise, a splash of lemon juice, and either the grated cucumber or shredded cheddar cheese for a little texture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix again.
Serve the tuna salad between two slices of sourdough bread or focaccia for a sandwich, with homemade crackers on the side, or spooned onto open-faced toast.
Save it for later…
