Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (5 oz) can solid white tuna, drained
  • 1/2 small Granny Smith apple, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 to 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Drain the tuna and flake it into a medium bowl with a fork.
  2. Dice the apple and red onion into small, even pieces.
  3. Add the apple, onion, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Toss well to coat.
  4. Spoon the salad onto toast, crackers, or lettuce cups and serve right away.

Notes

If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt, but the classic version is meant to be bright and light. Letting the finished salad rest for 5 minutes lets the lemon soften the onion just enough.
