Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
- While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently flake the drained tuna. Add the chopped celery and minced red onion to the bowl.
- Add the slightly warm or room-temperature cooked potatoes to the tuna mixture. Folding gently is crucial here to prevent the potatoes from breaking down too much.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the tuna and potato mixture. Fold everything together carefully until just combined. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon) as needed.
- For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled on lettuce leaves, in sandwiches, or as a side.
Notes
For added texture, consider adding 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish to the dressing mixture. This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
