Zesty Tuna Salad with Pepperoncini and Fresh Herbs



Ingredients



- 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped pepperoncini peppers
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions



1. Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by draining the tuna cans thoroughly to remove excess water. Finely chop the pepperoncini peppers and red onion, and slice the scallions thinly.

2. Combine Tuna and Mayonnaise
In a large mixing bowl, flake the drained tuna using a fork until it reaches the desired consistency. Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and mix evenly with the tuna.

3. Add Aromatics and Spices
Incorporate the chopped pepperoncini peppers, sliced scallions, and finely chopped red onion into the tuna mixture. Stir carefully to distribute these ingredients evenly throughout.

4. Introduce Mustard and Seasonings
Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the bowl, along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to blend flavors.

5. Finish with Fresh Herbs
Gently fold in the fresh dill and parsley, ensuring that the herbs are evenly spread for a vibrant and fresh taste.

6. Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tuna salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a sandwich filling, on a bed of greens, or with crackers.
