Grown-Up Tuna Salad Recipe

By á-58

This lunchtime classic is often lackluster and flavorless, so we’ve given it an overhaul here. First, we started out with high-quality ingredients like premium canned tuna; then we added fennel and lemon zest for a nice riff.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces high-quality imported tuna packed in oil, drained
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fennel bulb
• 1/2 cup Basic Mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fennel stems (no fronds, just green stems)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
• 2 small garlic cloves, minced (about 3/4 teaspoon)
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more as needed
• Kosher salt
