Storage
You can prepare tuna salad up to three days in advance.
Store it in a tupperware or airtight container. Give it a stir before serving once you remove it from the fridge.
Can you freeze tuna salad? I do not recommend freezing tuna salad. It’s a high moisture food, so the water may separate when frozen, altering the texture.
