  1. Drain tuna well and flake into a bowl.
  2. Add mayo, mustard, celery, onion, and lemon juice.
  3. Mix gently—don't mash the tuna to paste.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve on bread, crackers, or over greens.

Notes

  • Good tuna matters: Try olive oil-packed for richer flavor.
  • Drain well: Wet tuna = watery salad.
  • Variations: Add chopped pickle, fresh dill, or a pinch of curry powder.
