How to Make Copycat Jimmy Johns Tuna Salad Receipe

  1. Drain one 5-ounce can of tuna in water, pressing out excess liquid with a fork or paper towels. (Tip: For best results, gently squeeze the tuna handful by handful over the sink).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is key for that perfect Jimmy John's taste!
  5. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce cups. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
