Matthew McConaughey’s TikTok-Famous Tuna Salad Goes Viral for Its Unusual Ingredients
The actor’s tuna salad features ingredients that most people wouldn’t typically mix together.
Matthew McConaughey’s tuna salad recipe has taken the internet by storm.
Earlier this month, the actor revealed his special recipe on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast. “I’m a tuna fish salad master-maker,” he told hosts Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer at around the 1:14:10 hour mark. “Every Sunday night, I clean out the fridge and make a badass tuna fish.”
When asked about the details of his now-viral tuna salad, McConaughey said, “Well, it’s a long list of all kinds of things. It starts with the base, you gotta get the good tuna. Next, you gotta watch how much lemon and vinegar you add.”
But that’s not all. The 55-year-old also includes wasabi, mayo, red onion, dill pickle, and crispy jalapeno chips for “a little crunch.” He also adds agave, apple, frozen peas, and corn, which is a must for his tuna salad. While he does like to eat his concoction right away, he says keeping it in the fridge overnight to “coagulate” allows the tuna salad to taste better.
Many TikTokers tried the recipe out for themselves—and even though McConaughey's tuna salad sounds slightly bizarre, many said it was good. Check out some TikToks below.
