Notes

For richer salad, use oil-packed tuna but reduce mayonnaise., To customize, swap black beans for pinto beans or chickpeas, add diced jalapeños or chili flakes for spice, or substitute cilantro with parsley or green onions., Add diced avocado just before serving for extra creaminess., Salad keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days; flavors improve after chilling., Freezable for 3–4 months, though dressing texture may change; stir and adjust seasoning after thawing., Check taco seasoning for gluten if needed for gluten-free assurance.
