Taste and adjust
2 minSample the salad and dial in the seasoning to your liking—this is your chance to get it right before it hits the table or the fridge. Trust your palate.

03
Chill and let flavors marry
120 minRefrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving; the coriander and turmeric in both blends sharpen and deepen overnight, building complexity you won't get eating it fresh. This is where the real magic happens.

Serve
Serve chilled as a sandwich filling, over greens, or straight from the bowl. You can also eat it right away if you're in a hurry, but patience pays off here.
From Mike's Notebook
Drain your tuna in a fine mesh strainer and press gently; excess water waters down the mayo and spices.
Make it the night before — the onion softens and both blends meld into the mayo overnight.
Dice your celery small; large pieces turn to mush by day two and overpower the other flavors.
