Can I use canned salmon instead of tuna?

Absolutely! Salmon works great with these flavors - just go easy on the salt since salmon tends to be saltier than tuna already. I recommend adding an extra squeeze of lemon to brighten it up.

Is this tuna white bean salad gluten-free?

Yes indeed! The salad itself is naturally gluten-free. Just watch what you serve it with - pair with gluten-free crackers or greens rather than pita bread if that's a concern for you.

Can I add fresh cucumbers?

Oh my goodness, YES! Cucumber adds such a nice crunchy contrast. My tip? Only add them right before serving so they stay crisp. No one likes sad, soggy cukes!

As written, it's completely mild - just rich, herby Mediterranean flavors. But if you're like me and like a little kick, throw in some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. Start with a pinch
