Ingredients

2 5 ounces cans tuna packed in olive oil (Note 1)
⅓ cup kewpie mayonnaise (Note 2)
⅓ cup celery finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions chopped (Note 3)
3 tablespoons dill pickles chopped (Note 4)
1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
To Serve: Butter Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce or Bread

Instructions

Chop the celery and pickles and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Next, drain the oil from the tuna. With a fork, separate any larger pieces of tuna and add them to the mixing bowl.
Next, add the mayonnaise, chopped green onions, pickle juice, dijon mustard, dried dill, kosher salt, ground black pepper and lemon juice.
If serving as a lettuce wrap: Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Layer three to four pieces of lettuce over each other. Add a dollop of tuna salad in the middle.
If serving on bread: Toast or don’t, and evenly spread the tuna salad out over the bread.
If serving with crackers: Place tuna salad in a small serving bowl and add your favorite crackers.

Notes

Note 1: Favorite canned tuna was canned in olive oil. It helped prevent the tuna salad from being too dry. However, use whatever you love or what is in your pantry.

Note 2: Kewpie mayonnaise is rich and a great option for tuna salad. Use the best mayonnaise you can afford.

Note 3: To keep this recipe low FODMAP, use only green onion tops.

Note 4: To keep this recipe low FODMAP, only use pickles and pickle juice without high FODMAP ingredients like garlic or onion.

Storage: Keep tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Give it a good stir before using. Smell before using, it if it smells off, toss it.
