Heres how to make tuna salad the McConaughey wayits going viral for a reason.

First, the base needs to be a good tuna, according to theInterstellarstar.

So grab your favorite can (or one ofour editor picks) to re-create the magic.

That special ingredient brings a nice hit of spice to the salad and elevates the flavor of the tuna.

Youre blowing my mind right now, Kreischer says in response.

Theres one more base ingredient McConaughey swears by: a little Italian dressing.

(Were pretty fond of ourEasy Homemade Italian Dressing, but store-bought works here, too.)

Then the actor adds in his veggies: chopped red onions and finely sliced dill pickles.

Plus, canned tuna andother fish rich in omega-3 fatty acidscan be a brain-healthy, heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory ingredient.

This tuna salad would be great paired with crackers or on a sandwich.
