Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna and diced celery.
- Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing to the tuna and celery mix. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients.
- 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.
- Give the salad one last good mix to make sure all the flavors are well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
