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.

I am looking for a tuna salad recipe? Besides the tuna and mayo, what else is in it?
By dan ward from Columbus, OH
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.
How do I make sweet chicken salad and sweet tuna salad?
By carmenr from Houston
Sweet pickle relish instead of dill pickles for the tuna and add diced apples and/or quartered grapes for the chicken.
Here's a basic chicken salad recipe:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
1 stalk celery, chopped
And here's a basic tuna salad recipe:
1 (7 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickles, chopped
I like Whole Foods' Sonoma Chicken salad, except I use dried cranberries instead of grapes.

Use sweet pickle relish in both. I use sweet pickle relish (to taste) boiled eggs (about 2) celery seed 1/2 teaspoon, Mayo to pull it all together and salt to taste. Good Luck and enjoy.
You can make an easy tuna salad by mixing store bought cole slaw with a can of tuna.
I am looking for "Deli Tuna Salad". I know that it has chopped celery, purple grapes and Tuna in it but I don't know what else.

With over 20 years in the food industry I honestly never heard of anyone putting grapes in their tuna. Basically how it is done around here is you drain the tuna and by that I mean put it in a colander and press every bit of moisture out of it until it is dry. A touch of worchestershire,a tiny bit of onion, celery though many places do not use it and mayo and that is it.
I've never had tuna salad with grapes in it, but I have had chicken salad with grapes in it. I've heard that dried cranberries are good in chicken salad as well as turkey sala, as well as mandarin oranges & toasted nuts.
You can really put lots of things in tuna salad. I use two cans of tuna, onion, celery, pickles, mayo, and what really makes it, I think, is the garlic powder.
The peperoncini and tomato take the boring out of tuna salad.
The deli near my office has a killer tuna salad sandwich, tastes fantastic and kills the wallet! So I decided to do some culinary detective work and figure out how to make it at home to help resist the temptation to buy that $6 sandwich. The last ingredient took me forever to figure out!
Can tuna fish salad (tuna and mayo mixed together) be frozen?
By Pat Ness from NJ
Probably not a good idea. The mayo can separate when thawed. Also if you add things like celery to it, that will end up mushy when you thaw it. Better to make it as you need it.
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.
This is a fun twist on a tuna salad, adding some crunch and vibrance. I make a batch at the weekend. It keeps well in the fridge for days, making for quick and easy lunches. I love serving this at my summer parties.
