Ingredients
Scale
For the Tuna Salad
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt as a substitute)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 (5 oz.) can tuna (packed in water, well-drained)
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
For Serving
- 1 medium sweet apple (Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), apple cider vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Add Tuna and Cranberries: Stir in the drained tuna and dried cranberries, gently folding the mixture to evenly distribute all ingredients without breaking up the tuna too much.
- Slice the Apple: Wash and core the apple, then cut it into thin, even slices suitable for topping or scooping with the tuna salad.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon a generous amount of the tuna salad onto each apple slice. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crunchy apple and creamy tuna salad.
Notes
- For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Choose tart and sweet apples like Pink Lady or Honeycrisp for the best flavor contrast.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or light lunch and can be easily doubled to serve more people.
- Store any leftover tuna salad separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to keep the apples from becoming soggy.
