Best Dijon Cilantro Tuna Salad On Whole Grain Bread 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.

DIJON-CILANTRO TUNA SALAD ON WHOLE GRAIN BREAD

Dijon-Cilantro Tuna Salad on Whole Grain Bread image

Published in Bon Appetit April 2009. For the longest time I wouldn't eat tuna salad because eating meat from a can just seemed gross! But one Friday night I was pressed for time and needed to make something for dinner for myself and my hubby. I randomly threw some stuff together and made a tuna salad which was surprisingly good. Now that eating meat from a can (well at least tuna) doesn't bother me I'm on the look out for tuna salad recipes and this one sounds great!
