MOLDED TUNA SALAD



Molded Tuna Salad image

This salad is from *River Road Recipes* originally published by the Junior League of Baton Rouge in 1959. Mrs. Leo Sanchez was acknowledged as the contributor for this easy-to-fix, make-ahead recipe that I see as ideal for a luncheon entree or starter-type salad course for a dinner meal. (Time does not include time for mold(s) to chill till firm). *Enjoy*

Time 25m

Yield 8 4 oz servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (6 ounce) cans tuna (water-packed)
2 eggs (hard-boiled & chopped)
1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive (chopped)
1 tablespoon onion (minced, or sub chopped chives)
2 tablespoons plain gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Using salad oil, lightly grease (or spray w/PAM) a large round mold or 8 individual serving molds. Invert mold(s) on paper towels to allow drainage of any excess oil (Ramekins would work very well w/this).
  • Combine tuna with eggs, olives & onion.
  • Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Then dissolve over hot water bath, remove from heat & add mayonnaise gradually, stirring constantly.
  • Fold into tuna mixture, turn into mold(s) & chill till firm.
  • TO SERVE: Unmold on lettuce leaves or mixed greens & garnish as desired.
  • NOTE RE SERVING SIZES: The info I have given is based on individual salad servings as part of a meal. As a luncheon entree, I would expect 6 servings from this recipe.

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.
