Equipment
- 1 Medium mixing bowl
- 1 Fork
- 1 Can opener
- 1 Sharp knife + cutting board
- 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons

Ingredients
- Canned tuna in water
- Dill pickles finely chopped
- Dill pickle juice
- Red onion finely minced

Instructions
- Drain the tuna extremely well — press out every drop of water using the lid or paper towels. Flake into a medium mixing bowl with a fork.
- Add the finely chopped dill pickles and minced red onion.
- Pour in 3 Tablespoons of pickle juice to start
- Add the mayonnaise and a good pinch of salt + lots of freshly cracked black pepper.
