In the end this is pretty resilient stuff and you can’t really mess it up. No need to be exact, or even use my proportions. I like my tuna salad a bit mustardy, you may not. Adjust as needed and you’ll figure it out after a couple trys.
Also remember that the better tuna you use the better the dish will be. My go to is the Ortiz Bonita del Norte.
