How do you make a good tuna fish salad?

Question

What are some of the ingredients that you put in your tuna fish salad? How do you eat it? Plain or with bread or saltine crackers or other kinds of crackers?

Answer 1

I like tuna fish with mayo, rotinni noodles, salt, pepper, onion, peas, celery salt.

Answer 2

I recently had some excellent tuna salad that had just a little relish in it -- it was yummy! I honestly never eat relish, but it was really good because it provided a little bit of flavor as well as moistness. I also recently had tiny diced cucumbers in lobster salad which was really good as well. It was kind of like putting celery in, but it was more mushy so the textures blended well together.

I love to eat my tuna in grilled cheese : ) I also like tuna on specialty breads (ciabatta, etc.) that are soft or have some flavor as well as plain old white bread. Ive also been known to eat it straight out of the bowl : P

Answer 3

My tuna salad consist of

1 can of tuna, 1 can of corn , onion and lettuce finely chop and mayo put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it , my man likes it on bread but I eat mine on a tostada with some Valentina hot sauce .

Answer 4

I buy the tuna in vacuum pack bags and a bottle of tuna salad mix (in mayo section @ Walmart). It is very good and lo carb etc. I just mix some into my tuna and fill a pita pocket with tuna salad and lettuce. Yum.

Answer 7

Tuna is all in the preference. Just remember you want to add enough mayo to make it a little creamy.

I make mine with mayo and sometimes a pinch of yellow mustard. I also add chopped apples (adds a sweet crunch) My husband likes celery or relish in his. I sometimes eat it on club crackers or put it on toasted bread w/ cheese. (If i put it on bread i also add a little oregano and just a pinch of curry on top on tuna.)

Answer 8

I just add some really finely chopped celery, a little bit of pepper some dried parsley flakes and of course mayo. It tastes good on Triscuit crackers. or you can do a tuna melt on toast with melted cheddar cheese.

Answer 9

i make mine a bit different then everyone.

tuna drained really well or the vaccum packed stuff
relish or chopped pickle
lettuce chopped really fine
mircale whip (to me mayo in tuna is nasty)
some onion powder
i eat mine on toast with some thin sliced tomatoe or just as in on crackers. REally good

Answer 10

I put onions, celery and hard boiled eggs in mine. Along with salt and pepper. I like to eat it right out of the bowl, im not much on bread. Oh i also put a little light mayo in there.
