Fancy Tuna Salad Recipes

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

FANCY TUNA SALAD

Fancy Tuna Salad image

This tuna salad is simple but filled with so many flavors. There's some saltiness from green olives. Chopped pecans add crunch and a nutty flavor. Chopped hard-boiled eggs lighten the salad so it spreads nicely on a toasted bun. It's delicious! A great lunch or snack.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 can(s) albacore tuna (12 oz each)
1/2 c chopped green olives
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 c chopped celery
mayonnaise

Steps:

1. Hard-boil the eggs.
2. Drain tuna. Place in a bowl and separate into flakes.
3. I use my mini food processor to chop enough olives to yield about 1/2 cup and enough pecans to yield about 1/2 cup.
4. Also, use the food processor to chop the eggs.
5. Finely chop the celery. (I don't find celery does well in the food processor.)
6. Mix all ingredients with the tuna.
7. Add enough mayonnaise to make it a desired spreading consistency. Taste your salad and if you wish, experiment with adding additional seasonings.
8. Spread tuna onto bread of your choice. Then cut into 1/2 or 1/4 sandwiches. Or, set bowl of salad out and individuals can make their own sandwiches on round or hoagie buns or croissants.
