Season
Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust lemon, salt, or mayo to reach desired creaminess and brightness.

Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Tuna salad can be served immediately if short on time, but chilling improves texture and flavor.
