Tuna Salad~how do you make yours?

This popped up on my Google search page, and I think that I will try it. Lemon pepper!

Not too tart. My kids didn’t even notice when I made the switch to less mayo and adding vinegar. I use the regular sized tuna tins. I don’t know how but they are. But I usually mash up 3 tins at a time so I might add only 5 cap fulls. I’ve never tried lemon juice. I think my kids would notice the brightness more.

I make 2 versions here too.  But one version just adds one more ingredient.

Tuna in water, miracle whip, celery, sweet pickle relish

The second version I add in cottage cheese.  
When I was growing up, I think my mom used the cottage cheese to make the can of tuna go farther and feed all of us!  It stuck, so I still eat it that way.
When the cottage cheese in it, I eat that with Ritz cracker.

With no cottage cheese, I prefer white toast with butter and then the tuna.  I craved that when I was pregnant.  Still love it.

I just made some yesterday and had the toasted sandwich then.  Today is just regular white bread and tuna.  Tomorrow I will add the cottage cheese and have the rest for lunch with crackers.

I grew up with tuna, mayo, dill relish.

Now I do tuna, mayo, dill relish, sometimes fresh dill, chopped yellow/orange or red bell pepper, sometimes chopped walnuts, lemon juice and a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper. I don't even need bread, but if I do eat bread, it's toasted.

Exactly how I made tuna salad yesterday. If I have boiled eggs at the ready, I will dice one and throw it in. Had some leftover and made a tuna melt today for lunch, cheddar on sourdough bread. So yummy! Reading how others make tuna salad and going to try the different variations next time I make tuna salad. 

general grocery. It's not perishable. It's where condiments are. Big jar. 

Lemon pepper is included in how how make mine, too. I don't often have relish is the house so not that, and not mustard. And I replace much of the mayo and/or miracle whip with cottage cheese (yes, cottage cheese!) and just enough mayo/MW to bring it together. Definitely celery and often bit of chopped onion.

I probably have it in crackers more than bread but my favorite is wrapped in a leaf of butter lettuce.

Salt and pepper to taste, being aware that lemon pepper usually contains both.

All is subject to change as my taste does. L

   

Yeah, regular is fine, just blander and less sweet. You can even skip it.
