Instructions
1
To make homemade dressing, add ingredients to a tall glass. Using an immersion blender, blend on high. While blending, slowly pour the oil in, moving the blender up and down to help the mixture come together. Continue adding oil and blending until a thick and creamy spread forms. This takes about 1-2 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Aquafaba Whipping Technique 🥣Whisk aquafaba with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until it reaches soft peaks before folding into your dressing to create an airy, creamy texture that mimics traditional mayo without eggs.
- Tuna Liquid Management 💧Drain your canned tuna thoroughly and gently squeeze it between paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery salad while maintaining the fish's delicate texture.
- Vegetable Prep Timing ⏱️Finely dice your celery and onions just before assembly to maximize their crisp texture and fresh flavor, as they will gradually soften and release moisture as the salad sits.
- Dressing Balance Strategy ⚖️Start with less dressing than you think you need, then gradually add more until reaching your desired consistency—aquafaba-based dressings thicken slightly as they sit, so you can always adjust rather than oversaturate.
- Flavor Development Rest Period 🕐Allow the finished salad to refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving so the flavors meld together and the aquafaba dressing sets to the perfect creamy consistency.
