Method
 

Preparation
  1. Open the cans of tuna. Use a can opener to open both cans. Over a sink, use the lids pressed against the upside-down cans to drain the liquid. Transfer the drained tuna to a medium bowl.
  2. Add the sliced shallot and lemon juice to the bowl with the tuna. Stir in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and ½ cup of shaved Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and taste; adjust as needed.
  3. Serve on toasted or untoasted bread, with crackers, or in the half of an avocado.

Notes

Start with less mayonnaise and add more until you reach the desired creaminess. This salad is ideal for meal prep and can be stored in airtight containers for up to three days.
