Method
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, and lemon juice to the tuna; stir until well combined.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Mayonnaise and lemon blend through the tuna. Stir until the celery and onion are evenly coated.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing again briefly.
In a separate bowl, toss the mixed salad greens with the teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Olive oil lightly glosses the greens. Toss just before topping with tuna.
Top the dressed greens with the tuna mixture, spreading evenly.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tuna salad rests cool before serving. Keep covered if refrigerating briefly.
