Tuna Salad Recipes

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.

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.

Miracle whip instead of mayo.

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.

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.

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.
