Ingredients:

1 bacon strip bacon
12g
1/4 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
60g
1/2 tbsp pickle relish
8g
2 tbsp onion
20g
1/4 cup celery
24g
1 can canned tuna
160g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- Place the strip of bacon in a cold frying pan. Turn the heat to medium and cook the bacon until it is crispy, turning frequently to avoid burning. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
- Allow the bacon to cool, then crumble it into small pieces.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely chop both the onion and celery into small, bite-sized pieces. Make sure the pieces are uniform to ensure they mix well into the salad.
3. Mix the Dressing:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of mayonnaise with the 1/2 tablespoon of pickle relish. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Open the canned tuna and drain it completely to remove any excess liquid. Use a fork to break the tuna into smaller, flaky pieces.
- Add the drained tuna to the bowl containing the mayonnaise and pickle relish mixture.
- Add the finely chopped onion and celery to the bowl.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon into the bowl as well.
5. Combine:
- Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or large spoon until everything is evenly mixed and coated with the dressing.
6. Chill and Serve:
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the bacon tuna salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the salad on a bed of fresh lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers.

Tips:

- For the best texture, make sure to finely dice the onion and celery.

- You can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version of the salad.

- If you don't have pickle relish, finely chop some pickles and add a bit of the pickle juice for extra tang.

- Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

- For a bit of spice, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
