Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bagels may soften if stored with the topping.

Substitutions: You can use Greek yogurt instead of half the mayonnaise for a lighter version. Sunflower seeds or pecans can replace walnuts if needed.

Variations: Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the dressing for a spicy kick. Use whole wheat bagels for added fiber.

Tips: Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming too wet. Toasting the bagels first helps prevent sogginess.
