You’ve had tuna salad.
But have you had Matthew McConaughey’s version?
The Oscar-winning actor and bona fide Texas food lover recently went viral—not for a movie premiere or beachside meditation—but for his no-nonsense, flavor-packed take on the humble tuna salad.
And it’s as cool, confident, and delicious as you’d expect from the man who once said:
“Alright, alright, alright.”
In a laid-back interview with Men’s Journal, McConaughey shared his go-to recipe—a simple, fresh twist that ditches the mayo-heavy norm and swaps in ingredients that bring crunch, brightness, and soul.
Let’s make something so good, your sandwich will feel like a slow walk on a Texas beach at sunset. ✨💛
