I’m veryyy picky when it comes to tuna salad. Like, very. Tuna is just one of those polarizing foods that people either love or hate. If I’m going to eat tuna, it has to be packed with some serious crunch from veggies and nuts, it needs lots of freshness from lemon and herbs, very minimal (if any) mayo, and of course, it’s gotta be made with great quality wild tuna. I told ya, I’m picky! 

Since it’s almost impossible to come across a store-bought tuna salad that meets these specifications (although Jimbo’s Tuna Salad Supreme comes pretty close – San Diegans, you know what I’m talking about!), I made it a mission to create the perfect one at home. I whipped up this recipe for lunch one day and posted it on instagram. I thought, this probably won’t get a lot of likes because people are so weird about tuna. But would you believe the post was saved / bookmarked more than any other post EVER!? Ever! More than my favorite cookies or my almond butter cup smoothie! Who would have thought!? Safe to say, the recipe is a total crowd pleaser, even for the pickiest tuna eaters!
