Loved this but omg I just realized I forgot to add capers! It was still great. I used sardines in escabeche because that's what I had on hand.

A perfect salad, no notes. Lighter and brighter than many tuna salads I’ve had. I loved it and will repeat it often.

A nice, fresh tuna salad. I love the use of the lemon zest in this. I happen to be a fan of iceberg lettuce, it's cool, it's crisp, it's refreshing, and works perfectly here. I did add an additional small can of tuna and used the lesser amount of mayo.

Not much different than how I already like to make my tuna salad but I appreciate the lunch inspo! Vinegar and dill forward, which is the best way to have tuna, in my opinion :)

Would probably have preferred romaine but the tuna salad was amazing. This might actually have converted me, a former hater of celery in tuna. The dill does some heavy lifting.
