PAM'S DELI STYLE CREAMY TUNA SALAD

Pam's Deli Style Creamy Tuna Salad image

Tuna salad sandwiches I made at home never tasted the same as the ones from a deli or sandwich shop. It seems like such simple ingredients, why do they taste different? So I began experimenting. This is my version.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 12 oz can of solid white albacore tuna
1/2 c good quality mayonnaise
1/4 c softened butter
1 medium carrot roughly chopped
1 celery stalk roughly chopped
1/4 c rough chopped onion

Steps:

1. NOTE: The large can of tuna is important instead of 2 or 3 smaller cans. The large cans give you a large piece of tuna instead of the smaller stuff and this has a better taste.
2. Drain the tuna in a colander. Rinse with cool water and drain again, squeezing out any excess moisture.
3. Place the celery, onion and carrot in a food processor and pulse until minced.
4. Add the tuna, mayonnaise and butter. Pulse until mixed but don't make a paste out of it.
5. Chill before serving.
6. Variations: This is the basic recipe. From here you can add bread and butter pickles or dill pickles. Use the real thing, not relish. Caper are an excellent addition as well. Some shops add a hard boiled egg.

CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME

Creamy and Crunchy Tuna Salad Supreme image

This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.
