I love deli tuna salad. I tried one at a Randals Food store that had raspberries, grapes, and walnuts. I just don't know what type of dressing to use.The ladies at the deli wont give me the recipe either.Anyone?,,,Any one have a good tuna salad recipe other than just mayo?
I am becoming very fond of tuna with (';bread and butter'; pickled jalapeno pickles)[sweet and spicy]. As to the salad add broken not chopped pecans small apple and/or pear bits (fresh) and if you tire of mayo use sour cream with a little sugar and Dijon mustard. (My sister served me a potatao salad using a little mayo with butter milk and a few herbs. It was delicious. This combo may work as well. Anyone can bore you to death with bland and uninteresting food. Be polite but go do it better yourself and have some fun.Any one have a good tuna salad recipe other than just mayo?

You can try this basic recipe then add your fruit to it. All they are doing is substituting the fruit for relish to make it sweet.





Use Canned tuna in Oil for the best flavor


2 hard boiled eggs, chopped fine


1/4 cup diced fresh onion


1/4 cup green or red pepper (sweet)


1/2 cup or more of mayonnaise, use your judgment.


Add either a couple of tbsp of sweet relish, or diced apple, diced pineapple, chopped pecans or walnuts with the fresh fruit about





Mix it all up, and serve on a bed of lettuce, or in a tomato, or on sandwich bread.





I hope this helped
As you can tell from the deli anything goes-feel free to experiment.


Put in anything you think you would like.


Here is one I like:


Blend tuna with Miracle Whip or mayo and add chopped onion,garlic,celery,cilantro to taste, and salt,pepper,dash of Worcestershire sauce,dash of mustard and a little lemon juice


Yum..


Always add things to YOUR taste --make it the way you want it.Don't like garlic--that's ok use it..
don't know about the tuna salad at Randals, but when making tuna salad remember you can use any salad dressing not just mayo - such as, ranch, italian, bleu cheese, whatever is your favorite, they pretty much all taste good with tuna (or any meat). Maybe the one they are using is poppyseed - it seems like that would go well with fruit and nuts in any case....
My parents when they make food they well put any mystery that they haven't tried but anyway





green pepper


red pepper


onions


black olives


black pepper





and once my mom added hot sauce lol but it was good





you could use ranch dressing too
Personally when i make tuna salad I just fallow the recipe and replace the mayo with sour cream
Plain yougurt is good... with a spoonful of curry powder in it. I add raisins and apples to that too, but not everyone likes the additions :D
plain yogurt :]
