  3. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Serve immediately with bread, crackers, or over a bed of greens.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add diced cucumber or chopped pickles.
  • Spice it up with sriracha or diced jalapeño.
  • Try canned salmon or shredded chicken as alternatives to tuna.
