Bright and tangy Buffalo Tuna Salad combines creamy mayonnaise, spicy buffalo sauce, and crunchy veggies for a quick, flavorful lunch option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of tuna, drained
  • 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Drain the can of tuna and place the tuna in a medium mixing bowl. Dice the celery and thinly slice the green onion.
  2. Add the sauce: Pour 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise over the flaked tuna.
  3. Mix in the aromatics: Add the diced celery and sliced green onion to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
  4. Season to taste: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
  5. Serve: Spoon the tuna salad onto washed lettuce leaves for cups or serve chilled as a simple salad.

Notes

Drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Use a fork to flake the tuna rather than smashing it into paste for better texture.
