My Favorite Albacore Tuna Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    TUNA
    1 (12 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained
    SALAD
    1/3 cup diced celery
    1/3 cup chopped dill pickle (Mt. Olive Zesty Garlic Dills)
    2 tablespoons minced fresh baby dill
    2 tablespoons chopped red onions
    1 tablespoon snipped green onion top
    1 tablespoon finely minced fresh flat leaf parsley
    2 teaspoons imported non-pariel capers
    DRESSING
    1/2 cup real mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (Meyer lemon)
    1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
    1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
    1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (Meyer lemon)
    1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Preparation
    DRAIN 12 ounces solid white Albacore tuna; SET aside.
    CHOP all SALAD ingredients to specifications.
    WHISK the following DRESSING ingredients in a medium bowl: 1/2 cup real mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.
    STIR in the tuna; BREAK up tuna with a fork until desired consistency is reached (I like mine slightly chunky).
    FOLD in remaining SALAD ingredients until mixture is evenly blended (1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles (Mt. Olive Zesty Garlic Dills), 2 tablespoons minced fresh baby dill, 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon snipped green onion tops, 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh flat leaf parsley, and 2 teaspoons imported non-pariel capers).
    SERVE on your favorite bread, or serve on a bed of lettuce, with vine-ripened tomatoes, ripe avocado, and a light Italian vinaigrette, garnished with a whole black olive and a sprig of fresh dill or parsley if desired; ENJOY!
