Poll...Do you have a tuna salad recipe, that I would enjoy?!


Question: Here is the recipe our family likes best:

Tuna Salad:

2 small cans light or albacore tuna
( water packed, drained well, and chilled for about two hrs)
3-4 finely chopped hard boiled eggs
1 Tbsp. dill pickle relish (you can also use fresh dill)
Finely Chopped Onion, to taste (we like a couple of tbsp)
Two dashes of Seasoned salt
Dash freshly ground Black pepper
Dash of Celery seed or 1 very finely chopped celery stalk
Two or three shakes of Mrs. Dash
1/4 Cup Mayo
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
Two splashes of lemon juice
Dash of Chinese hot mustard powder (opt.)

Put eggs on to boil on high for about 15 minutes so they are hard cooked and completely cooled off. Break tuna into very small pieces or shred it. Add lemon juice, seasoned salt, pepper and mix well. Add finely chopped onion, chopped celery stick or a dash of the seeds, chopped dill pickles or a pinch of fresh dill, and Mrs. Dash to taste. Add hard cooked eggs, gently blending in mayonnaise and sour cream. If you like spicy food, add in a tiny bit of the Chinese mustard powder and mix thoroughly. Chill for about 3 - 4 hours, tightly covered so it doesn't dry out. Serve with crackers, on a bed of lettuce, with veggies or on your favorite bread.

Of course you can omit anything you don't like, but this is our favorite version that I copied as closely as possible from a very popular delicatessen. :-)

TUNA STUFFED TOMATO SALAD

1 (6 1/2 oz.) can tuna (drained)
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
2 green onions, diced
3 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1 tbsp. mustard
1/2 c. mayonnaise
6 tomatoes, washed with tops cut off and seeds scooped out.

Mix all ingredients except tomatoes; chill. Fill tomatoes with tuna mixture.

Cook some large pasta shells and cool completely. Make a tuna salad with mayo, celery, onion, red bell pepper, broccoli and zucchini. Stuff into shells. Place shells on a bed of greens and top with a balsamic vinaigrette. YUMMY!

Also a friend showed me this a long time ago, add lemon pepper seasoning to your tuna salad when you make a sandwich. Tastes great!

And also my girlfriend likes to use cream cheese instead of mayo with her tuna salad. That is pretty yummy too!

I like to keep it simple and sweet
Tuna drained
pickle relish
boiled egg diced
Mayo
mix together, serve on toasted wheat bread
to make a salad add cooked macaroni
