I’ve been making The Best Mayo-Free Tuna Salad for years, and I doubt I’ll ever tire of it.
I posted this recipe a few months ago on Tik Tok and it went viral overnight. I still get messages to this day from people who now consider this a staple in their kitchen.
I like a mayo based tuna salad too, don’t get me wrong, but this version is so incredibly flavorful and unique that it’s irresistable. I like to make it on a weekend and have an easy, nutritious lunch all throughout the week. It’s perfect for meal prep.
The pepperoncini are a star here, they add that burst of briny flavor that makes the salad come alive. I love to use their brine in the dressing too, to really turn up the volume.
