EXPERT TIPS

Use high-quality tuna. Trust me, it makes a big difference in every recipe, but especially a tuna dip recipe where it's the highlight of the dish.
Drain the tuna well. Any leftover liquid will water down the dip.
Store it properly: Once opened, canned tuna should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used within a few days. This will help keep it fresh and prevent spoilage.
Don't skip the capers! They add a lot of flavor and brine and make this canned tuna recipe shine!

Serve in a bowl or a rimmed plate. Enjoy with crackers, chips, or veggies!
