When you’re looking for a salad dressing that goes with tuna, you have a lot of options.

You could even go with a vinaigrette.

But if you want to make your tuna salad stand out from the crowd, you should try one of these 9 dressings that go with tuna!

9 Salad Dressings that Go with Tuna

Is it just me, or does tuna salad taste better with a dressing?

I’m not sure why this is, but it’s true.

Maybe it’s because you can mix up the flavor of your salad without having to resort to adding more mayonnaise.

Or maybe it’s because the dressing adds a little crunch and texture to the dish.

So, what salad dressing goes with tuna?

Tuna is a delicate fish and it needs a light dressing that won’t overwhelm the flavor of the fish. A vinaigrette is ideal, as it will provide a little acidity and sweetness to balance out the saltiness of the tuna, as well as help to bring out its delicate flavors.

So, if you’re looking for some new salad dressings that go well with tuna, look no further than the list below!

1. Creamy Italian Dressing

I love creamy Italian dressing.

It’s got a great mix of flavors, and it complements tuna exceptionally well.

I usually make my own dressing at home, but if you’re short on time, you can find some great ready-made versions at the store that will still deliver an amazing experience.

My favorite way to pair this dressing with tuna is in a salad.

The creamy texture of the dressing is perfect for coating the lettuce and other veggies in the salad while they soak up the flavor from all of the ingredients—and tumbling it all together in your mouth is just like eating a big bowl of deliciousness!

In addition to being easy and tasty, this dressing is also super simple to make at home.

1. All you need are two ingredients: olive oil and vinegar (red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar work great).
2. Start by adding about half as much vinegar as oil into a jar or container with a lid (you can use any size container; I prefer glass jars because they’re pretty!).
3. Then just shake it up until everything mixes together smoothly.

2. Honey Mustard Dressing

I like to use honey mustard dressing with tuna, because I find it to be really flavorful and it helps to bring out the taste of the fish.

I usually pair this dressing with a salad or another dish that has some kind of crunchy texture.

It also works well with a dish that is light in flavor and texture, like pasta salad.

A thing that I learned the hard way is that you should put less than you think you need when making this salad.

The sweetness of the honey mustard can overpower some other flavors if you use too much!

3. Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing

This dressing can be used for almost any dish, but it’s particularly good with tuna.

I personally make this dressing by mixing together 1/4 cup sesame oil, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or fresh), and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

If you’re in a rush, you could also use store-bought versions of these ingredients — just be sure to read the labels before purchasing!

The way I usually go about pairing this dressing with my tuna is by mixing it into some brown rice with sautéed vegetables (like broccoli) and pan-seared tuna chunks.

This creates a delicious meal that will keep you full while giving your body the nutrients it needs.

Here’s a tip: don’t use too much dressing! You’ll want to use enough so that every bite has some flavor from the dressing, but too much will overpower everything else on your plate.

4. Caesar Salad Dressing

I love Caesar salad dressing: its bold flavor and creamy texture make it an excellent match for tuna salad (or tuna on toast).

It also works really well with baked fish, grilled fish, and even just plain old tuna straight from the can.

So how do you go about pairing these two delicious foods?

Here are a few tips:

• Make sure you have plenty of fresh ingredients on hand to add in as extras! I like to throw in some chopped green onion, chives, or even jalapeño if I’m feeling daring. Just remember to keep things balanced by adding in some crunchy raw veggies like cucumber or bell pepper too!
• Add some protein into your meal by adding hard-boiled egg whites or chicken breast cubes onto your plate before serving! This will help fill up any guests who might be coming over and keep them satisfied while they wait for dessert later on in the mealtime.

5. Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

For me, blue cheese vinaigrette is another great option.

The sharpness of the cheese pairs really well with the richness of the fish and gives it a satisfying bite.

Plus, it looks pretty amazing on top of your favorite salad!

1. I typically like to make my blue cheese vinaigrette by mixing together equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream, then adding in some dijon mustard and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
2. Then I add in some crumbled blue cheese (about half as much as there is mayo), which gives it a strong taste and beautiful coloring.
3. Finally, I toss in some salt and pepper to season it up before serving.

When pairing this dressing with tuna, I recommend making sure you have it on hand at all times so that when you’re hungry (or just bored) and want something quick, easy, and delicious—you’ve got everything right there waiting for you!

6. Raspberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

This dressing is super easy to make, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for an easy way to add some variety to your tuna salad.

You only need three ingredients: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and raspberry jam (or preserves).

I usually like to use this dressing with my favorite tuna salad recipe, which is a combination of canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion powder, salt and pepper—and whatever else sounds good!

Sometimes I add in a little bit of onion or tomato as well.

Then I’m just left with the task of figuring out how to pair my new dressing with the dish.

My Tip: If you want to make sure that your tuna salad isn’t too sweet for you (because this dressing does have a lot of sugar), add some salt before mixing everything together.

7. Thousand Island Dressing

This dressing is pretty simple.

It’s just mayonnaise and ketchup, with a few spices thrown in for good measure.

I like to add a little bit of sugar and lemon juice for sweetness and acidity, respectively.

After that, you can add whatever you want—garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper… whatever you like.

8. Green Goddess Dressing

I love this dressing because it’s so simple and easy to throw together, and it tastes great on a whole range of foods.

You can make it as a dip for raw veggies, or you can use it as a salad dressing, or even just as a sauce for chicken or fish.

It’s also great to have around in case you need to whip up something fast!

For me, having this dressing on hand means that I can quickly throw together an entire meal that tastes great and will keep me feeling full for hours.

Here are some ideas:

• Make your own pita pizzas with tuna (or other toppings), green goddess dressing, and some shredded cheese sprinkled on top before baking at 350°F until the cheese is melted and golden brown (about 10 minutes).
• Make tuna burgers by mixing several cans of tuna with 2 eggs in a bowl until well combined. Form into patties and cook in a pan over medium heat until cooked through (about 5 minutes per side). Serve with lettuce leaves and tomato slices if desired!

9. Lemon Herb Vinaigrette

This is one of my favorite dressings.

It’s easy to make and goes well with a variety of dishes, from salads to grilled meats.

In this recipe, I like to use the dressing as a marinade for tuna steaks before cooking them.

This way, the fish absorbs all of the flavors from the dressing and turns out delicious!

I also like to make this recipe into a complete meal by adding some finely chopped vegetables and fruits (like tomatoes and cucumbers), as well as some nuts or seeds (like walnuts or sunflower seeds).

Finally, if you’re in a rush, try using store-bought lemon juice instead of fresh lemons—it’ll save you time!
