Okay, tuna salad.

It rocks. Especially if you are in the no mayo crowd. We make this at least weekly with good tuna. Bonus is it’s super fast to make.

I only like the Yellowfin tuna I find at Wegmans. I suspect I’d like the jarred Tonnino tuna but it’s like $8-$10 a jar which seems nuts so I don’t even try it. Chunk light is gross to me.

My grandmother added small chucks of pineapple...really good.

Celery, onion, pickle relish, salt & pepper, squeeze of lemon and Durkee’s sauce if I have it, mayo and a bit of Dijon if I don’t. The relish is what makes it.

That's not tuna salad.


Don't feed your little kids tuba salad regularly. Too much mercury. Sub salmon


Tubas definitely have too much mercury
Maybe try trumpet next time

Chopped jalapeño makes it nice and spicy, too!

I LOVE tuna salad so much! I hope the family was pleased. Lots of good suggestions here. I'll just add that I love oregano in my tuna.

Congrats on the baby!!

I have been planning to make this one next https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/lemony-white-bean-and-arugula-salad-recipe-1922074


I am quoting myself to say this thread inspiref me to make the Giada recipe I linked for lunch. It is quite nice. It’s very much an “eat it from bowl” tuna salad as opposed to a “make sandwiches with it” tuna salad though.


Ooooh, water chestnuts are such a good idea!

I agree. I thought I just became a tuna snob, though. Nice to know it may be the tuna.
White albacore makes a less sloppy tuna salad, imo.

Pretty sure that’s salmon mousse


Isn't this how Japanese eat it? They put it on fluffy white bread crusts cut off.

I never understand why someone who doesn't like a food will bother to enter a thread about that food just to say that they don't like that food.

You clearly need more in your life because right now.

Our go to:
water packed tuna, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, spicy brown mustard, mayo, sriracha, Old Bay.

We usually serve tuna salad in a bowl with Ritz crackers instead of on bread. My son has lately wanted his in a wrap in a whole wheat tortilla.
