This scrumptious dish is an elevated version of classic tuna salad. It is creamy and satisfying, yet light from using both almond milk yoghurt and mayonnaise for the dressing. The combo of tamari soy sauce and sesame oil adds a great umami rich flavor.
It is a perfect option for gatherings as it can be made ahead of time, and does not go soggy sitting at the table. Made with pantry-friendly ingredients, tuna corn salad can be whipped up on a whim!
