Tuna salad recipe?

Question

I need a new tuna salad recipe. I am tired of the same tuna salad with just mayonnaise and relish.

Answer 1

This tuna salad is made lighter with the use of yogurt as an alternative to mayonnaise. It also contains chopped dates, an unusual twist to a typical salad.

2 6oz cans tuna, drained
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1 1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 large apple, cored, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 cup Stonyfield Farm lowfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Drain excess water from tuna and reserve. Combine first five ingredients, including tuna, in a medium-size mixing bowl, and combine well. Then in a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, red onion, lemon juice and curry powder, and mix well to make the dressing. Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture, mix well, and enjoy. Keep refrigerated.

Answer 2

If you want a good tasting and HEALTHY tuna salad, here's the secret: 1. Start with good quality tuna. An italian import in olive oil is the best I have found locally. 2. Skip the mayo. Yes, completely. Even the "diet" mayo is loaded with sodium, and you're already getting enough of that from the tuna. You avoid chemicals and other preservatives this way too. 3. Mix into your tuna: finely chopped celery, zucchini and/or red or yellow bell pepper, a couple of spoons full of capers, a little minced shallot, a little minced garlic if you like garlic. You can also add some kalamata olives. 4. Toss the whole mixture with fresh ground pepper, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and a little more extra virgin olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Voila! Enjoy.

Answer 6

Try this Mediterranean style tuna salad. You will need your tuna, kalamata olives chopped, canned (in water) artichokes chopped, shallot or green onion chopped, grape tomatoes 1/2'ed, enough olive oil to make everything moist, juice of one lemon, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all of these ingredients up and serve on french or Italian bread that has been slightly hollowed out. Cut into serving size pieces. Its very different and very delicious.

Answer 7

2 (6 ounce) cans tuna

1/2 cup mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip for me)

1/2 cup chopped celery (one to two stalks)

3 cups salad greens

olive oil
red wine vinegar
salt
fresh cracked pepper

2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered

2 stalks canned hearts of palm, sliced

1 red bell pepper, chopped into twice-as-wide-as matchstick pieces


1)Mix the first three ingredients and set aside OR stop there and eat as is or use for tuna sandwich, tuna melt, etc.

2)Divide the lettuce between two plates; dress with oil and vinegar, salt and pepper.

3)Pack the tuna mixture into a 1-cup measure and turn out onto the middle of one of the plates of lettuce; repeat.

4)Place the egg quarters, hearts of palm slices, and chopped red bell pepper around the tuna; if desired, garnish the top of the tuna with three pieces of red bell pepper.

5)I like to crack fresh ground pepper over all at this point.
