This Bagel with Tuna Salad is incredibly easy to prepare and requires very little cooking. The crunch from the celery and onion adds a fresh contrast to the creamy tuna filling.

Follow these simple steps for bagel with tuna salad

Step 1

Prepare the tuna: Open the tin of tuna and drain away any excess water or oil. Place the tuna into a mixing bowl and use a fork to flake it into small pieces. Add the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt to the bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the crunch: Finely chop the red onion and the celery stalk into small even pieces. Stir these into the tuna mixture along with the lemon juice and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly so the vegetables are evenly distributed through the tuna salad.

Step 3

Toast the bagels: Slice the bagels in half horizontally. Place them in a toaster or under a grill for a minute or two until they are golden and warm. This step ensures the bagel remains sturdy once the filling is added.

Step 4

Assemble and serve: Place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bagel. Spoon a generous amount of the tuna mixture over the lettuce. Put the top half of the bagel on and serve your Bagel with Tuna Salad immediately.

Tips and tricks for bagel with tuna salad

For a better texture always make sure to drain the tuna very well before mixing it with the other ingredients. This prevents the Bagel with Tuna Salad from becoming soggy. If you like a bit of heat you can add a pinch of chilli flakes or some chopped jalapeños to the tuna mixture. To keep the bagel extra crispy put the lettuce leaf down first to act as a barrier between the bread and the filling. You can also add some sliced cucumber or tomato for extra freshness. If you are making this ahead of time keep the tuna salad in the fridge and toast the bagel just before you are ready to eat. Using a toasted bagel provides a much better contrast to the soft filling than a plain one.

The quality of your Bagel with Tuna Salad will also depend on the type of bagel you choose. A plain or sesame seed bagel works particularly well with the creamy fish filling.
