Classic Tuna Salad

Never thought of sweet relish. How much do you use per can of tuna?

[Susquehanna Patriot]

Tuna fridays during Lent ... a great tradition. Alternated with salmon patties. And we’re supposed to be fasting, yet enjoying these gifts.

I got sandwiches Tony...

[HYPOCRACY]

Tuna, salt, pepper, onions, mayo, sour cream and dill pickles chopped finely. Season to taste...Celery tastes like the dirt it was grown in.

[gundog]

Commercially canned tuna is cat food.

[HYPOCRACY]

Never thought of horseradish. Good idea. May try wasabi too.

Kitten of the Sea?

Bump for later.

I never knew about the citrus. Only a teaspoon, too. That’s barely any.

A squeeze of lemon is most helpful for the darker shades of tuna, including chunk light. We omit the lemon for white albacore (tastes like chicken--Ha!).

[IamConservative]

Canned fish. Virtually everyone has one or more tins of fish in the pantry. It is so versatile and shelf stable protein can be handy in a crunch.

That said, I’ll do fresh as long as my local market has it.

I have good news for you - mayonnaise will NEVER clog your arteries.

[Sacajaweau]

I did the onions/celery when I was young..

At 77...I dice a dill pickle, mayo...and I'm good to go.

[SkyDancer]

Some people are allergic to celery, have to be careful if you share.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I never measure it, to be honest. I guess a teaspoon or maybe two. There is definitely more onion and celery.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I never get the tuna at subway. We like turkey or the cheese steak.

[Sacajaweau]

“Old Timers” makes a horseradish SAUCE..which works nicely....vinegar, oil, egg yolks.

Looks a lot like my mother’s recipe - from the 40’s.

Sometimes she’d add pickle relish, sometimes not.

Tasted delicious and is still great - thanks for that and I will use it. My mother went to her grave with all of her recipes, none of which were written down.

She also made a killer tuna noodle casserole with the potato chip topping.

Good stuff...good stuff..

Better not be dolphin free. That’s the best part.

Albacore. Never buy cheap tuna. You have no idea what it is

[Bon of Babble]

I always toss in a bit of sweet relish as well (probably sacrilege).

Not sacrilege!

My mother almost always made tuna salad with sweet pickle relish. Her family was from Virginia and they liked things on the sweet side.

Best tuna salad ever.
