It’s probably already in your crisper.

Theres just one problem with tuna salad: Im not sold on the celery.

Sure,celeryisfine, but its earthy, bitter, and unremarkable.

However, my celery-free tuna salad was missing something.

Thats how I discovered thatgreen onions are the perfect replacement for celery in tuna salad.

The onions' sharpness also compliments the tuna’s saltiness and fishiness.

As with celery, the onions can be cut into small or large pieces, depending on your preference.

Once theyre cut up, simply mix them in with the rest of your tuna salad ingredients.

I recommend using white canned tuna packed in water or oil.

I keep my recipe simple, addingmayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt.
