How do you like your tuna salad?

[Marie5656]

Since we had a pretty successful egg salad thread, I figured I would step up and give tuna equal time. How do you like your tuna?

First, I usually use Albacore. I mix in mayo, some yellow mustard, relish, dill weed and celery seed. My mom used to chop in real celery, and if I have some on hand I put that in, too. Then, I separate some out into a separate container and chop in some onion for DH. I do not much like onion.

A friend chops hard boiled egg into hers. It is pretty good that way, but since DH does not like his with egg, mine gets a bit of egg, if I happen to have some made up. But that is not often.

OK, friends..your turn.

Hellman's mayo, minced celery and onion.

I like my tuna on two pieces of bread.

Exotic, I know, but ...

I like the chunk light tuna. I mix it with onion,mayo,vinegar and a ton of chopped celery. I like it with lettuce on a sandwich. My cousin who lives in South Jersey says they serve it with bacon and Swiss cheese. I'm from the northern part of the state and never heard of it but I tried it and thought it was good.

Chunk light tuna packed in water.

chopped onion, dill pickle, green pimento olives
garlic powder, pepper, lemon juice
(sometimes) a chopped boiled egg

Add mayo last - Kroger classic (as good as Hellmans, imo)

Very simple if I'm having canned tuna. Albacore, in spring water, just mixed with Hellmans' Mayo, and some salt and black pepper..but if I'm having fresh tuna fish, I eat it plain without any dressing..

I used to use Albacore tuna until I found out that it has 3 times the mercury levels of skipjack tuna. So now I use the skipjack with Miracle Whip, celery and red pepper and fine chopped Bread & Butter pickle.

Albacore. Finely diced celery. Best Foods mayo.

Did not know that about Albacore. I know there is high mercury in some fish, which sucks.

I use solid albacore in water with any or all of the following, mayo, celery, onion, sweet pickle relish, red bell pepper, salt, pepper.

If I'm making a large batch of tuna salad or a macaroni salad I use a can of solid albacore and a can of chunk light for a little extra flavor.

Very similar to how I like it although I leave out the celery. Not a fan of the texture and taste of celery.

Solid white Albacore (Chicken of the Sea) with Hellman's or Kraft mayo, diced onions, diced celery (if I have it on hand), dry mustard, dry dill, salt, pepper, parsley (dry or fresh).
