Best Crazy Tuna Frito 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.

CRAZY AWESOME TUNA SALAD!!!!!!!

Crazy Awesome Tuna Salad!!!!!!! image

This is the tuna salad I have been making for months and months and my boyfriend says I've perfected it... I agree... try it. We usually just eat it on toasted wheat bread but recently discovered it is great on tostadas! I do not like onions so I cut them up and he puts them on his but if you like them just toss them in!
