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.

RICH TUNA SALAD, EVEN FOR THE TUNA HATERS :)



Rich Tuna Salad, Even for the Tuna Haters :) image

Years ago I kept craving tuna. Strange, because I am really not a tuna lover. Eventually I came across Bumble Bee albacore tuna (DOLPHIN SAFE, very important to me) packed in water. I bought 2 cans. I used a few normal ingredients and one or two not so mainstream ingredients. It's delicious, almost tastes "roasted" for lack of a better description :) I developed this, but I'm sure others have used something similar. It really satisfied my craving for tuna (must have been my body craving protein and omega 3 fatty acids) I just thought I'd share! Oh, also! The tuna mellows and tastes much better if allowed to sit in the fridge for several hours. Also good on crackers!

1 teaspoon fresh dill
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried mustard

Steps:

  • Drain tuna, trying to get as much juice out as you can.
  • Feed the juice to your kitties :).
  • Place in a medium bowl.
  • Dice the red onion finely.
  • Dice the dill pickle finely.
  • Mix the above ingredients with the mayonnaise and mix as finely as possible.
