Here are the ingredients you’ll need for five portions:

• 3 cans of tuna
• 1 can of corn kernels
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 roasted jalapeño, seedless and skinless
• 3 chopped spring onions

How to make Mexican Tuna Salad

• Roast the jalapeño, I do it directly over the stove flame, as we do in Mexico, but you can also put it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.

• Remove the skin and the seeds

• In the blender, place the mayonnaise, yogurt, and jalapeño, blend until smooth, and this will be our dressing.

• Mix the tuna with the corn and add the dressing.

• Finely chop the spring onions and add them to the salad, mix everything together, and serve.

Take your Tuna Salad with Jalapeño Mayo to the next level:

1. Customize Your Heat: If you like things extra picante, leave some of the seeds in your jalapeño when chopping it up. And if you prefer it milder, simply remove all the seeds.
2. Add Some Crunch: Want to add even more textura to your tuna salad? Try tossing in some diced celery or shredded carrots. It’ll add a nice crunch que te va a encantar.
3. Play with Herbs: Experiment with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to give your tuna salad ese toque fresco y herbal. Just chop them up finely and mix them in at the end.
4. Go for Color: Make your tuna salad look even más bonito by adding some diced red bell pepper or red onion. Not only will it look pretty, but will make it taste amazing!
5. Make It Creamier: If you like your tuna salad extra creamy, feel free to add a little extra mayonesa or yogur griego. Just be sure to taste as you go para que no quede demasiado heavy.
