Tuna and celery turmeric salad

Welcome to a refreshing and health-conscious Tuna and Celery Turmeric Salad recipe. This dish brings together the protein-packed goodness of tuna, the delightful crunch of celery, and the exotic flair of turmeric, all bound together by creamy mayonnaise. This quick and nutritious salad is perfect for a light meal or a tasty snack, offering both great flavor and valuable nutrients.

Ingredients:

1 oz canned tuna
27g
1 stalk celery
40g
1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
15g
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Canned Tuna: Open the can of tuna and drain any excess liquid. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small chunks.
- Celery: Rinse the celery stalk thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Using a sharp knife, trim off any rough edges and dice the celery into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix the Salad Base:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna and diced celery.
3. Add the Dressing:
- Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing to the tuna and celery mix. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients.
4. Incorporate the Turmeric:
- Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder over the salad mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the turmeric is evenly distributed throughout the salad, giving it a vibrant yellow color.
5. Final Mix:
- Give the salad one last good mix to make sure all the flavors are well combined.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate. You can serve it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a more refreshing taste.
7. Optional Garnishes:
- For added texture and flavor, consider garnishing your salad with a sprinkle of black pepper, fresh parsley, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Tips:

- Use high-quality canned tuna to ensure the best flavor and texture for your salad.

- Feel free to chop the celery into small, uniform pieces to achieve a consistent crunch in each bite.

- For a healthier twist, you can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a light mayo alternative.

- Mix the turmeric powder thoroughly with the mayonnaise before adding to the other ingredients to ensure an even distribution of flavor.
