Best Composed Dilled Tuna Salad Recipes

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Ingredients

12 ounces chunk light tuna, very well drained
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions, divided use
2 teaspoons tiny nonpareil capers, divided use
salt and pepper
fresh dill

Make carrot curls: use a vegetable peeler to slice off thin strips of carrot; plunge the carrots into ice water to curl. Drain before using.
For each serving, place the tuna mixture into a small rounded bowl and pack down with a rubber spatula.
Overturn the bowl onto a salad plate and lift it away.
Create a border with fanned cucumber slices, tuck in a few sprigs of fresh dill topped with carrot curls and slices of green onion.

TUNA SALAD COMPOSéE

Tuna Salad Composée image

This recipe is a far departure from the mayonnaise-based tuna concoctions that Americans expect. Tuna (packed in olive oil, please) is mixed with peppers, fresh herbs and nuts and dressed in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and two types of mustard. It can sit in the fridge for up to three days, making it excellent picnic food or just a departure from the usual sad desk sandwich.
