The secret to making a great chopped salad is to cut the ingredients into chunks that are all the same size and to include contrasting textures. Instead of using tuna, try leftover cooked chicken.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Add tomatoes, anchovies, olives, basil, oil, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and set aside.

Grill tuna, turning once, 3 minutes per side for rare. Transfer to a cutting board; slice tuna against the grain. Grill bread, turning once, until slightly charred. Serve tuna with salad and bread.
