The method

Step by step

1
Drain the liquid from the canned tuna.
About 1 min
2
Place the drained tuna in a medium mixing bowl and use a fork to flake it into smaller pieces.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Breaking up the tuna first helps it mix more evenly with the other ingredients.
3
Add the mayonnaise, crumbled feta cheese, chopped celery, diced apple, chopped walnuts, and chopped tarragon to the bowl.
About 5 min
4
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Feta is already salty, so you may want to add less salt than you normally would.
5
Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are just combined.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Avoid over-mixing to maintain the texture of the ingredients.
6
Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cook’s note: This salad is great on its own, served over a bed of lettuce, or used as a filling for a sandwich or wrap.
