Pickle Relish Is The Unexpected Addition Your Tuna Salad Needs
By Madalyn Mackarey
Tuna salad is a longstanding favorite dish for many since it's high in protein and easy to prepare. However, pickle relish is one condiment that can take it to the next level.
Pickle relish already works well in classic egg and pasta salads, so you can also use it to elevate your go-to tuna salad recipe, especially if you're not a fan of the fish.
Savory canned tuna is the basis for your tuna salad's flavor, but it needs other ingredients like onion, celery, or even fruit for flavor, texture, and a dynamic bite.
Pickle relish is a single ingredient that offers this desired crunch, tang, and sweetness, and there are different varieties available for your pickle preferences.
A classic, sweet pickle relish is the perfect choice for brightening your tuna salad. Dill and spicy pickle relish could pair well with other ingredients, like green onions.
To contrast its sweet, savory, sour, and tangy flavors, you can even serve your pickle relish tuna salad on top of bitter leafy greens, such as spinach or arugula.
