A zesty and flavorful tuna salad with a spicy kick, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Finely chop the celery, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Wear gloves while handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
Add the chopped vegetables and herbs to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix gently to keep the texture of the tuna intact.
Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your desired creaminess.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve with crackers or as a filling for sandwiches for a versatile meal.
