Why Does Restaurant Tuna Salad Taste Better?
Typically restaurant tuna salad is made in advance, so the flavors have a chance to meld, creating a more delicious mixture. If you want your homemade tuna salad to taste similar to a restaurant’s, mix it up ahead of time and chill in the fridge.
What Are Good Toppings On A Tuna Salad Sandwich?
Some delicious toppings for a tuna salad are chopped bell pepper, chopped celery, dill pickles, sesame seeds, mustard, olives, water chestnuts, cheese slices, capers, and even chopped jalapeños, just to name a few. Fresh chopped veggies make a tuna salad sandwich taste refreshing and give it a great crunch.
