Tuna salad recipe?!
Answers: I love the tuna salad at Panera. Does anyone have a really good tuna salad recipe?
Okay this is what I've came up with. I made it before but I don't have the ratios. When I made this the first time, it was a bit too moist so watch for that. -Tuna (thoroughly drained) -Mayo -Vinegar -Sweet relish -Salt -Spicy Mustard - Eggs (boiled and chopped) - Red onions (chopped finely)- not sure if they use this but I like it. Mix together and just try to find the right combination. Also important is your choice of bread. It's not precise but it's funky enough to work.
4 eggs
1 tablespoon pickle juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon ground celery seed
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
4 radishes, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 medium-size sweet pickles, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in water, drained
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
Mini pita bread OR English muffins (optional)
mayo, mustard, dill relish- stir- eat.
1 can (6 oz.) tuna, drained and flaked
1 hard boiled egg, minced
3 T minced celery
1 T minced onion
1 T minced cilantro
3 to 4 T mayonnaise
1 T prepared mustard
Combine all ingredients, chill leftovers
On top of a big plate of lettuce, put artichoke hearts, slices of hard boiled eggs, provolone spears, salami spears, calamata (Greek) olives, roasted red pepper, and flakes of cooked tuna (like you'd get from a Starfish tuna can). Cover it with Italian dressing. It should serve multiple people depending on how big you make it.

tuna, mayonnaise, pepper, salt, and all of it to taste, its different everytime, i like it
So I make my tuna salad a bit different.....I put chopped red onion, chopped dill pickle, chopped jalapeno, cilantro, and instead of mayo, I mix mine with half an avocado...
A bit different, but I like a little kick to mine
Add some chopped apple (I like Granny Smith and I don't even peel it). Someone told me to try it and I thought it sounded odd, but it is really good. Then just add mayonnaise, salt, pepper, onion, lemon juice. Yum..
