Not your everyday tuna salad! I love tuna salad, but I get bored by the same old taste. I have a Yahoo group and sent out a request for different ways of making tuna salad. I was so surprised by the many responses to my question and how different everyone makes theirs.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans white albacore tuna in water, drained
• 1/4 cup celery
• 2 Tbsp red onion
• 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
• 1/8 tsp dried dill
• 1/8 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp dill pickle relish
• spicy season salt & black pepper.
• 2-3 Tbsp Hellman's Mayonnaise, more if needed
• 1 small cucumber (about 1/4 cup) finely diced
• romaine lettuce

 

Steps:

1. Using a mixing bowl, flake the canned tuna apart.
2. Chop celery and onion in a food processor.

 

 
3. Add celery, red onion, eggs, dried dill, Dijon mustard, dill pickle relish and seasonings.

4. Then add 2-3 heaping tablespoons of "Hellman's' mayonnaise.
5. After mixing, test taste to see if you need to add more seasoning.
6. Chill well before serving. You can serve this on wheat toast, cut into four small finger sandwiches (removing the crust), or fill a pita bread pocket with a handful of chopped romaine and then tuna salad.
7. I like my tuna salad sitting on top of a bed of broken up romaine lettuce. This makes a delicious lunch or dinner.

A new way to serve tuna or egg salad, is by cutting off the top of a hard roll, "hollowing" it out, and filling it with tuna or egg salad. Add onions, tomatoes, and lettuce and put the top back on. You can add anything else that you like on it.

You can add some cut up celery. If you don't have any celery on hand, add some celery seed which can be bought in the spice section. I also add a few squirts of yellow mustard which gives the tuna salad a little bit of added flavor.

I add chopped sweet pickle, pickle juice, celery seed and some black pepper. Make it about once a week and we love it.

Quick and easy. I use tuna packed in water and drain off the water before making the salad.
