How do you prepare your tuna salad?

[MsDisney23]

I made tuna salad this morning and cut up a dill pickle in it... sometimes I put onion. I always mix mine with mayo. I'd love to hear what you like in your tuna salad.

 

[Toad_Passenger]

I replace the mayo with spicy dijon mustard and a load of cracked black pepper. Sometimes I'll do the onion & celery thing, but most of the time, I don't.

 

[monkeybug]

I use mayo, dill, sweet pickle relish, a little garlic powder, onion, sometimes a bit of lemon juice and zest, and parmesan cheese if I have it.

 

[AKL_Megs]

Albacore tuna ONLY, Miracle Whip, Grey Poupon, relish, celery, and LOTS of cracked pepper.

No pickle for me......

I use fat-free ranch dressing, and add dill weed, salt & pepper.

 

[Sorsha]

Tuna, mayo, lots of sliced hard-boiled eggs (almost as much as the tuna), diced dill pickle or dill relish, seasoning salt, and a squirt of yellow mustard.

Now I am craving tuna sandwiches LOL...

 

[StacyMarie]

Tuna, chopped zucchini, chopped tomato, onion, 1 tbsp low-fat mayo, 1 tsp mustard, salt, and pepper on an english muffin! YUMMY!

 

[Freyja]

I mix mayo with creme fraiche and then put tune, hard boiled eggs, onion and cucumber in it.

 

[Dr.Girlfriend]

I go to Subway and tell the person behind the counter to put a little mayo, a lot of black pepper and onions in it.




I SWEAR I've seen this exact thread before on here. Haha.

 

[cybrkitn]

I mix mine with just plain mayonnaise. Sometimes I will add celery, but that's rarely.

Wow - great ideas here! I am pretty boring in my tuna fixings
I put in pickles, mayo, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs.

Dr.Girlfriend - I liked your response, lol.

I tend to go to Subway because if I make it at home, this is what happens:

Get out can of tuna.

Open with can opener.

Cat comes running into the room and weaves himself in and out of my ankles until I trip.

Open fridge to get out mayo.

Kids come running in, thinking I'm getting ice cream out, and they freak out.

Cat continues to weave in and out of my ankles and I trip again.

Try to pour out tuna juice into sink and kids are still freaking out for ice cream.

Comments start flying from my daughter about how bad the tuna stinks.

Son grabs the cat's tail, cat freaks out, jumps up on counter.

Son grabs can of tuna and spills it.

Cat jumps down and starts eating tuna.




It's really just easier for me to mosey over to Subway and let them make a mess.

Since I am the only one who eats tuna, I buy the really small tiny cans....

I drain the tuna (water only) and mix in a spoonful or two of mayo, some chopped celery and chopped dill pickle. Sprinkle in a dash of pepper and maybe some Italian herb seasoning if I'm feeling fancy. Most of the time it's just celery and pickle, oh and a little bit of pickle juice....if I have any in the jar. I buy a particular brand of pickels sold in the refridgerated section and I like to drink the juice.........

Growing up, my mom would always take me on Saturdays to the Woolworth's lunch counter (yes, I grew up in the 80's) and we'd have tuna sandwiches on toast. I loooooved their tuna sammies.

OT, but my first summer job out of high school was the Woolworth's luncheonette counter! Pretty funny, since I never really cooked at home. We had to wait tables and make the food as well. I learned that a full drinking glass will cover a multitude of cooking delays!

 

[sandramaac]

When it come to tuna, I am defintely anti-pickle ---just yucky. I go the route of mayo, finely minced onion, garlic and onion powder and once in a while if I am doing a jumbo can I will add one small hard boiled egg.

 

[bigmerle1966]

I like to make it sometimes with mayo, dill, lemon juice and zest, red onion, pepper and Kalamata olives.

When I was in HS (many years ago) I used to work for a sandwich factory. We made sandwiches for vending machines.
I was the pne who made the tuna salad because I worked with all old ladies and they were older and I was the little HS girl.
I would put in 4 cans of tuna (250oz cans) 2 industrial size mayonaisse (200 oz) and 1 jar of hot dog relish (200 oz) into a humongous bowl then mix it with my hands. the gunk went up to my elbows.
Then I got to use an ice cream scoop and smash this junk onto white bread, slice the sandwiches into triangles, lay one on top of the other and wrap it in this plastic then seal it on the hotplate sandwich sealer.
I did this twice a week for the entire summer.
Don't get me started on the chicken salad.
I still eat tuna, but only with mayo and celery salt.

Thanks for the laugh!

Equal parts softened cream cheese and mayo, green onions, and a dash or two of cayenne

 

[nmmom95]

I use mayo, dill, sweet pickle relish, a little garlic powder, onion, sometimes a bit of lemon juice and zest, and parmesan cheese if I have it.

I'm going to try this...it sounds great! I use mayo, onion, celery and dill, but that gets boring.
