What ingredients do you like in your tuna salad?
My favorite way to serve tuna salad is in a whole tomato wedge cut into 8 wedges nearly to the bottom so it stays together and stuffing the tuna into it .
I add bacon to a tuna sandwich. My favorite sandwich is to buy a BLT sub, bring it home, and mix up a can of tuna with mayo and onion flakes. Then I stuff the BLT with the mixture. It's good for two lunches.

Boy, is this healthy!
Not.
This is a great video lots of good ideas. I have an off topic question. I came across a sandwich recipe for sliced beefsteak tomatoes and unsalted peanut butter on whole wheat toast, add your own salt. I tried it, liked it but never heard of it before. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I seen it in a national magazine so is it a regional thing? Itβs pretty good
Nice vdeo. So informative and entertaining
Onion, celery, tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, hellmans mayo, crunch on the side.
Everything tastes better when someone else makes it. The element of surprise is the factor!
I make mine with fresh lemon juice, chipotle mayo, fried red peppers & jalapeno , with arugula on a toasted potato bun
yes , it slaps.. π
my new favorite "secret" ingredient for tuna salad is pepper jelly. π
raisins are worse than Hitler though.
I put cottage cheese in mine
Try putting in chopped broccoli for something different.
My first mother in law made the best tuna salad. I would make it in her kitchen with her telling what to do. But mine would never have the taste as like hers. Go figure.
MSG. You're Welcome.
It 'marries" Mashed,…no s***!
A friend owns a great deli. They use extra heavy mayonnaise in all their sandwiches. It's kind of a hidden secret.
Deli tuna salad is to plain I make mine with a dollop of Dijon mustard diced pickles, dill not sweet on Ritz or Townhouse crackers or even on a green salad topped with French's fried onions and homemade mayo easier with an immersion blender store bought will never taste the same again π
Delis sht is processed fake fillers
Tuna salad with fruit is bleh. Tuna with nuts can be really good though.
