When preparing tuna salad, what is the first production step?

  1. Seasoning the tuna

  2. Adding mayonnaise to the tuna

  3. Chopping the vegetables

  4. Pre-chill the canned tuna

The correct answer is: Pre-chill the canned tuna

When preparing tuna salad, the first step is to pre-chill the canned tuna. This is because it is important to ensure that the tuna is cold and safe to use before adding other ingredients. Option A, seasoning the tuna, comes after pre-chilling the tuna. Option B, adding mayonnaise, is incorrect because it should be added after the tuna is mixed with the other ingredients. Option C, chopping vegetables, is also incorrect because it should come after the tuna is mixed with the other ingredients.
