Tuna Salad - post your recipe here, please.

[Mulli]

Mine is terrible. Tuna, mayo, pickle relish. I am missing something I think.

What is the proper recipe?

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I do tuna, diced boiled eggs, diced celery, sliced black olives, chopped green onion, mayo and either dill relish or diced pickles (depending on how lazy I am that day). I then chill it well in the fridge and geberously heap over a couple slices of dark multigrain bread....

tuna--not albacore--I hate albacore (white trash, I know)...miracle whip, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt...chopped celery, and if I'm feeling like it, just a little FINELY chopped carrot. Adds a nice color. Must have lettuce, tomato is great to have but not necessary. I like it on a good multi-grain as well.

Oh, I forgot salt and pepper....

Apple. Gives it a nice crunch that's not stupid celery.

I agree about the celery. Most overused.


Side note:

What kind of cheese on a tuna melt? I had my wife order swiss, but I think that might have been a mistake. American? Cheddar?

I dunno.

 

[Pariah]

I never order a tuna melt. I don't think cheese belongs on fish.

They have a cream for that

No more tuna melts for me then.

I don't do tuna period. I'm a chicken salad kinda guy

Albacore, mayo, green olives and you must take out the pimentos, lemon pepper, chill and serve. Yum!

 

[AZZenny]

Pretty close to DEI - chopped celery, a bit of onion, a hard-boiled egg, pickle relish and Mayo. Occasionally black olives, but I usually put them in egg salad.

 

[NoelPHX]

I only like albacore. I usually just use pepper, tuna, mayo, celery, pickle, boiled egg, and onion

 

[Linderbee]

I dunno. That sounds like a fast train to stomach problems to me.

 

[NoelPHX]

I only do it sometimes. It was something my ex-stepfather did that kinda has stuck. My wife does it sometimes too.

Lovely.. lol. I should only have it a little cause I only it eat once in a while.

 

[DutchmanAZ]

all of the above (mayo please, no miracle whip) with finely chopped jalopenos...sounds wierd but it's good.

That would be good.

Tuna, steamed white rice, peanuts, and soy sauce.

Scrumptious. Wholesome. Healthy. Filling.

Otherwise I'd go, tuna, celery, green onions, mayo, on wheat with romaine lettuce and salt/pepper.

Tuna, steamed white rice, peanuts, and soy sauce.

I hafta try that. Hot? Cold? More detail, please....

 

[Louis]

I eat it hot.

It's usually a work lunch thing for me, so the rice is prepared the night before and I add the tuna, peanuts, and soy sauce after.

Then I warm it up at work.

Love it. Especially on days I work out.
