"Whether you're making a dish for a potluck, preparing a hearty lunch, or looking for a quick and easy snack, popping open a can and preparing a tuna salad is almost always a good idea. It can be as simple or extravagant as you want it, depending on which ingredients you choose to use. If you're bored with the basics, lemon pepper seasoning is an essential ingredient to add for a much better tuna salad."
"One of the biggest mistakes you'll regret making with your tuna salad is not adding an acid. Though most people use a squirt of lemon juice or even a splash of vinegar to brighten up their tuna salads, lemon pepper seasoning bypasses the need for either, providing the right amount of acidity from the lemon ingredient. It's easy to mix about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of the seasoning per one 14-ounce can of tuna, along with any other seasonings and additions of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt"
Lemon pepper seasoning combines citrus zest, cracked pepper, and salt to boost flavor and acidity in tuna salad. A homemade version requires only three ingredients: lemon zest, cracked pepper, and salt. The seasoning supplies the acid that many cooks add with lemon juice or vinegar, so it can replace those add-ins. A suggested amount is about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons per 14-ounce can of tuna. Mix the seasoning with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for body. Taste before adding and increase gradually, since lemon pepper can be potent and interacts with other ingredients.
