Tuna Salad with Mayonnaise

To prepare a delicious and refreshing salad, we start by draining the fish well, ensuring that it no longer contains excess liquid. This is an essential step, as well-drained fish will provide a more pleasant texture and prevent the salad from becoming too watery. While the fish is draining, we focus on the cucumbers. It is important to choose fresh, crunchy cucumbers that will add extra freshness. I chose to grate them to achieve a fine consistency, but if you prefer, you can cut them into small cubes. However, if you opt for cubes, make sure they are not too large, otherwise they will dominate the salad, which can be a bit bothersome.

Once the cucumbers are prepared, we add them to a large bowl together with the drained fish. Next comes the corn, which adds a touch of sweetness and vibrant color to the salad. Choose well-drained canned corn to avoid excess liquid. Mixing the ingredients is a crucial moment; we need to combine them gently so as not to break the fish, but to ensure that each ingredient contributes to the final flavor.

After mixing the fish, cucumbers, and corn well, it's time to add the mayonnaise. This not only binds the ingredients but also adds a special creaminess. The amount of mayonnaise can be adjusted according to personal preferences; some prefer a lighter salad, while others love a richer consistency. We mix again carefully, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Once the salad is well mixed, we let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. This step is essential, as it allows the flavors to combine, making the salad even tastier. Served cold, this salad is perfect for hot summer days or as an appetizer at a festive meal. Enjoy every bite, knowing that you have created a delicious and healthy combination that will impress everyone!
