Do you love a classic tuna salad sandwich, but sometimes feel like your taste buds are left unsatisfied? Maybe you crave more acidity and flavor than your grandma was willing to put in the potluck salad? If that is you, seek no more! I have finally uncovered what I believe to be the perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and tangy tuna salad!

This easy Dill Pickle Tuna Salad recipe is focused on bringing out all of the bold flavors of tuna salad while still maintaining the creamy and crunchy texture we all know and love. Instead of drowning in mayo, this recipe uses one part mayo and one part Greek yogurt to provide a tangy, set subtle base that will magnify the bold and crunchy flavors of dill pickle, red onion, and, of course, savory tuna! Plus, an extra teaspoon of dill pickle juice provides the perfect undertone of pickle in every bite!

Tuna salad with pickles is a simple staple that everyone should know how to make. It is perfect for potlucks and classy brunches, or, if you are as busy as I am, it is a fantastic throw together meal that you can make for weekday lunches. Packed with protein and powerful flavors, this tuna salad is a great dish to make ahead of time and take on the go! It takes less than ten minutes to make and is easy to serve on crackers, or on a classic tuna salad sandwich with lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
