Instructions

Drain the tuna well.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Use to top a salad, in sandwiches, or to add to pasta salads.

Notes

Any pickle will do. I've used anything from garlic to dill and they all worked great. Use whatever you like best.
Be sure to drain your tuna well. It may also be worth drying it out on some paper towels. Nothing worse than runny tuna salad!
Dry the pickle before chopping. Pickle juice will not only thin out the mayonnaise but change the flavor of the dish.
