Way-Better-Than-5-Fucking-Dollar-Premade-Rio-Mare-Tuna-Salad Tuna Salad Recipe (NO MAYO, intended to be eaten straight-up, not in a sandwich/on crackers but do whatever you want I guess)

Intended to be easy, cheap, healthyish and accessible. You can swap canned and bottled ingredients for fresh if you feel like doing more work or something. Freezes well and makes like 3-5 portions. This is the best tuna salad I have ever eaten in my life btw my bad photo of thawed leftovers doesn't do it justice.

INGREDIENTS:

2x cans (160g each) of canned tuna of choice, drained (my favourite is Rio Mare in olive oil; it's expensive and I only have the cans in the pic because my parents bought me some food. Tuna in the right pic is actually Clover Leaf Chunk Light Tuna Skipjack in Water which is a great cheaper alternative)

1x can (389ml) carrots and peas, drained (No Name or whatever option is cheapest but decent in your country)

1x can corn (341ml), drained (Dollarama has surprisingly REALLY good whole kernel canned corn)

Minced garlic, whatever amount your heart desires (the strong flavour of jarred garlic works great for this)

A drizzle or so of olive oil, as much or as little as you like

Lemon and lime juice to taste (squeeze real lemon and lime if you want but bottled is just fine)

Salt and pepper to taste (be careful with salt if watching sodium intake; canned foods often have higher sodium for preservation! Also I love sea salt the best but use whatever you want)

STEPS:

Get a big mixing bowl. That's not big enough. Get a bigger one. The biggest one you have. Trust me.

Get a fork. A fork will break up the tuna and mix everything just fine.

Drain all canned ingredients and dump them in the bowl. If you don't want to wash a strainer you can open the cans a little bit and shake them to allow the liquid to drain.

Using fork, break up tuna and mix ingredients. Toss bowl to mix too if you can.

Add garlic, olive oil, lemon and lime juice, salt and pepper, and mix again. Add small amounts of oil/juice/salt/pepper at a time if you're unsure and taste as you go, because if you end up with too much of one flavour there's no real way to fix it.

Mix it again until everything is perfectly combined. Unlike the overpriced canned shit you should have a perfect ratio of fish to veggies and should be able to actually taste the salt.
