Tuna salad on whole wheat with lettuce, no tomato.
That’s my standard sandwich order.

At home, I may add capers or celery in with the non-negotiable onion.
If youre a tuna salad sandwich-lover like me, you probably know exactly how you like your tuna salad.
It adds the kick most tuna salads are looking for, even if they dont know it.

Its made with brown or black mustard seeds, which are more pungent than yellow or white mustard seeds.
Its also made with white wine (how French!)
Most importantly, I keep Dijon on hand for tuna salad.
Can You Use Other Kinds of Mustard?
When making tuna salad, I only use smooth Dijon, not the whole grain kind.
I prefer how the smooth mustard mixes in with the mayonnaise or oil in tuna salad.
You may ask, what about using other kinds of mustard, like yellow or spicy brown?
I wouldn’t recommend them.
Stick to the Dijon.
For a five-ounce can of tuna, start with two teaspoons of Dijon.
Whatever your standard order or recipe is, you wont regret this punchy addition.
