The “secret ingredient” combo people rave about is usually jalapeño chips + wasabi + corn mixed into classic tuna salad. It sounds chaotic… but somehow works ridiculously well.

- 2 tbsp finely diced red onion
- 2 tbsp chopped pickles or relish
- Handful crushed jalapeño chips
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt & black pepper
- Optional: chopped celery, parsley, or dill
Instructions
