Ingredients:

2 cans canned tuna
330g
1/2 apple
110g
1 tbsp pickle relish
16g
3 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
44g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Open the canned tuna and drain any excess liquid.
- Finely chop 1/2 an apple into small, bite-sized pieces. Choose a crisp, sweet apple for better balance with the tuna.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained tuna.
- Add the finely chopped apple to the bowl with the tuna.
- Add 1 tablespoon of pickle relish to the bowl. This will add a nice tangy flavor to the salad.
- Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise salad dressing to the bowl. This will help bind the ingredients together and add creaminess.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder over the mixture for added flavor.
3. Mix the Salad:
- Using a fork or a spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure that the mayonnaise is evenly distributed and that the apple pieces are well incorporated into the tuna mixture.
4. Season to Taste:
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add a bit of salt or pepper to enhance the flavors, although this is optional based on your taste preference.
5. Serving:
- Once thoroughly mixed and seasoned, your Tuna and Apple Salad is ready to serve.
- This salad can be enjoyed on its own, in a sandwich, wrapped in a tortilla, or served over a bed of fresh greens.

Tips:

- For a fresher taste, consider using fresh tuna steaks that you can grill or sear before flaking them into the salad.

- If you prefer a lighter option, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.

- Add a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors and keep the apple from browning.

- Incorporate some chopped celery or red onion for an extra crunch and burst of flavor.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added freshness.
