Why recepie famous for?

This recipe calls for two 5-ounce cans of white tuna. The amount of fish in a can of tuna can vary wildly. Some brands add considerably more water to the can than others, so cans may contain anywhere from about 2-1/2 to almost 5 ounces of tuna.

Ingredients

2 (5-ounce) cans water-packed tuna (drained and flaked)
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup mayonnaise (light or regular)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or Dijonaisse
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 to 2 stalks celery (trimmed and diced)
1/4 cup diced sweet onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the tuna in a large bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, the mustard, relish, celery and onion. Mix well.
Taste and add more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier salad, and/or lemon juice for a tangier flavor.
Season with the pepper, and mix again.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
