Ingredients

  • ½ cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 1 ½ tablespoons whole grain dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cane sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cans albacore flaked white tuna (packed in water) drained
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 2 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add the tuna, celery, red onion and capers. Stir until everything is combined.
  • Serve immediately or cover and store in the fridge for an hour to let the flavours meld.

Notes

  1. Dice the celery and red onions small so they mix in well with the tuna and other ingredients.
  2. To avoid a watery tuna salad, make sure the canned tuna is well drained.
  3. If you want a creamier tuna salad, feel free to use a little more sour cream.
  4. Make sure your dairy-free sour cream is thick and creamy. I used Tofutti brand for this recipe. Runnier sour creams will make the tuna salad a little runny.
