Add 2 tablespoons of chopped Kalamata olives, 1 tablespoon of capers, and 2 tablespoons of chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the tuna salad for a Mediterranean twist.
For a creamier and healthier fat option, replace half of the mayonnaise with one small mashed avocado. This adds a rich flavor and extra nutrients.
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped apple (like Granny Smith) and 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts to the tuna salad for a sweet and savory crunch.

The tuna salad mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not assemble the sandwiches until you are ready to eat to prevent the bagels from becoming soggy.
Canned light or albacore tuna packed in water is generally recommended for a healthier option with lower mercury levels and fat content. Tuna packed in oil can also be used but will result in a richer, higher-calorie salad.
