How to Make Tuna Salad | Easy and Delicious Tuna Salad Recipe!
Any mustard will add a little bit of spice. However Dijon mustard also adds spice and texture. It is made in the Dijon region of France and uses grape juice and mustard seeds as its primary and most distinctive ingredients. Mix a small amount into mayonnaise for a hint of mustard flavor or use half-and-half for a stronger flavor. You can find several brands in the grocery store as well as Dijon mustard with additional flavors like honey.
You can also use brown mustard for added texture which can complement your creamy tuna salad when paired with mayonnaise. Spicy brown mustard contains whole mustard seeds and is slightly grainier than Dijon mustard. Whether you use a delicate Dijon mustard or a rich grainy brown mustard for your tuna salad start with a small amount and increase the amount of mustard to suit your taste.
There are other ways to make your tuna salad sandwich even more delicious such as adjusting your ingredients or taking extra steps to prep the vegetables you’ll add along with your Dijon mustard. Avocado adds creaminess to tuna salad thanks to its naturally high fat content and it has a lighter flavor than mayonnaise. Avocado can work if you want to skip the heavier seasonings but still want a creamy texture. Make sure the avocado is ripe and soft so you can mash it. Mix it thoroughly with the Dijon mustard before adding your tuna onion celery or other ingredients.
