Drain the tuna well and flake it in a bowl with a fork.
ColanderBowl
💡Drain the tuna well: liquid left in it thins the mayonnaise, and the salad comes out watery.
2

3
Add the oil in a thin, slow stream, while the blender is running, until a thick emulsion forms.
Blender
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
4
Add the lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
5
Add the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice and mix.
6

7
