MOM'S COLD TUNA SALAD



Mom's Cold Tuna Salad image

I was raised in Phoenix, Az Need I say more HOT, HOT, HOT! So 110 degrees on average in summer you don't cook much so the house doesn't get too hot. This was always well received. I still live in AZ but in the mountains so 90 degrees is much better than 110. This is such a nice easy dinner in the summer.

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.
