Notes
Chef Note: I am really not a huge fan of raw onion as I find it overpowers the entire dish, so I used pickled red onion in this recipe. If you have a Costco membership, I implore you to check out their pickled red onions. They are usually out whenever I go, so when I am lucky enough to find them, I stock up. They are great not only in this dish but in so many other things—on sandwiches, tacos, etc.
Chef Note: You could also add the leaves from the celery and/or parsley or mint to the tuna salad. I really like using the entire stalk of celery and adding parsley. If I were making a different type of tuna salad, I may add mint and perhaps some feta. It goes great with the cucumber and the dressing.
