lots of lemon juice, mayo and ranch dressing, and some kind of lemon marinade if you have any,onions, lots of fresh cracked pepper and salt!! and herbs if you want extra flavor! i think any would work well with tuna!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I like it with chopped celery and onions (and mayo of course), but I'm usually to lazy to chop them up when I'm making a can!. I like a decent amount of pepper as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
