Notes
- For the best spicy tuna salad, mix ingredients together and allow to cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the flavors to meld.
- For extra spicy, add 1 tbsp of jalapeno juice from a jar of pickled jalapenos. Or slightly toast the diced jalapeno.
- This is super versatile, make it as spicy or mild as you'd like. Also feel free to add in additional ingredients for more flavors!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Double or triple the recipe for batch meal prepping.
