If you prefer, you can substitute ranch dressing with mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, or a vinaigrette for a different flavor profile.
The tuna salad is properly mixed when the tuna is evenly coated with dressing and there are no large clumps remaining. Aim for a consistent texture.
Yes, you can use cooked fresh tuna instead of canned tuna, but ensure it is thoroughly cooked and flaked before mixing it with the dressing.
