Best Tuna Apple Salad Recipes
APPLE PECAN TUNA SALAD
I grew up eating tuna salad made with sour pickles, onions, and mayonnaise. When I married, my m-in-law made a delicious tuna salad with apples as one of the main ingredients. I LOVED it and began to use that recipe. My husband likes pecans (Texas' state nut) in everything, so I always add a handful, but they are optional. It's better to begin with the chopped apple so you can sprinkle lemon juice over the pieces to keep them from turning brown. I also prefer unpeeled apples. I am saying this makes 6 servings because we like THIN sandwiches. I also sometimes make my sandwich ingredients the night before because allowing to set a while makes the flavors blend.

Steps:
- Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
- Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
- Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
- Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More "pastey" texture is better for sandwiches.
- Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).
CURRY APPLE TUNA SALAD
This is my mother's tuna salad. I added the walnuts after I married a man who loves nuts. Melt it with cheese on an English muffin or a piece of rye for a quick lunch.

APPLE AND CHEDDAR TUNA SALAD
Found this recipe on a Hellman's mayo coupon card. Sound delicious, light and refreshing. Posting here for safe keeping. When I make it, my preference would be to use the tuna in the foil packets (no draining necessary). Feel free to use your favorite brand of products. I suspect this would be good using chicken instead of tuna too or served over lettuce, etc :) If you try it, I hope you enjoy it!

TUNA APPLE SALAD
A lovely tuna salad with a twist; it uses apples and light Italian dressing! I like to use Gala or Golden Delicious apples. I also like to serve this with potato chips on the side, but it holds its own if you choose to serve it solo. Enjoy!

APPLE LIME TUNA SALAD
The first time I heard of tuna salad with chopped apples in it, I really had some doubts. And then I tried it! Since then I've played with the ingredients and have come up with this. It's a very flexible recipe. I've made it for sandwiches. I've added cooked macaroni for a whole meal salad. I've eaten it on crackers. I've used small shrimp instead of tuna. I've added celery and used different colors of peppers. I've used lemon instead of lime. I've used garlic salt instead of regular salt, and made many other substitutions. It always turns out good!
