The real secret to the most delicious tuna salad ever: a dash of sweet curry powder.

Seriously, try it. :drinker:

I agree, Tuna and Yellow curry powder is awesome!!!

I typically do it one of two ways...tuna, a little bit of olive oil based mayo, relish, sweet peas, & hardboiled eggs (I usually just use the white), then eat that plain or on a light whole grain pita. OR I'll use tuna, red wine vinegar, a bit of olive oil, italian seasoning, small bits of sharp cheese, and then whatever veggies I have on hand...usually carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, snap peas etc...if you like a little kick, jalapenos are good in there as well

Tuna (in olive oil & garlic - well drained)
Best Foods Mayo (not the lite version)
Chopped red onion, pickles & capsicum
Splash of vinegar (usually balsamic)

Tempted to try the curry powder suggested above but have no idea how I'd know if I was buying a sweet one or not! Here in NZ I'm fairly sure we only have the one type and it certainly isn't sweet, lol.

Thank god my mother got more canned tuna...

We usually do

1-2 cans
Mayo
Sweet Relish
2 hard boiled eggs (chopped)
Salt, Pepper, Lemon Pepper

Mix, and enjoy with white bread or crackers

I use tuna (packed in water, drained) with a mashed avocado and tiny pieces of cucumber. Also, I'll saute a can with veggies; zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, and hot sauce! Sometimes I'll add that saute mess to macaroni and cheese. Yum!

have you ever had tuna nicose? it's a slice of heaven and low cal. Recipes are available online easily, but it basically is tuna, lettuce, olives, green beans, boiled egg quatered and vinagrette dressing and tomatos.

Wonderful Ideas!!!!
Mine is boring!!! Tuna, Mayo, Relish, hard boiled egg!

Milliebear, I'm guessing you're in the UK from your use of the word "tin".
As far as I know, you call them coriander leaves in the UK, whereas in the US
we call the leaves cilantro and the dried herbs coriander.
Hope this helps! I've definitely got to try some of these wonderful tuna recipes

This is how I do my "healthy Version" of tuna salad:

Can of tuna, drained
2 tbsp of fat free sour cream
1 tbsp of salsa
a pickle chopped

mix them all together It's kind of like a southwest tuna salad I suppose. and always comes out to 200 calories tops for the whole thing

I make it for my husband for his lunches. I just use tuna in water, 1 T mayo, and some diced onion. I'm going to try that curry powder idea though. I bet it's good i love curry.

hbunting86

I love tuna!!

I usually get the Sealord garlic and olive oil brand and then......

Half a diced avocado
a sliced spring onion (or scallion or whatever they're called)
One chopped fresh tomato
1/3 cup diced, peeled cucumber
salt
pepper
a good splash of Louisiana hot sauce.

YUM!

hbunting86

Also what is miracle whip? Never heard of it... can you get it in NZ even?

I like the curry powder idea, although as stated before I don't think we get a 'sweet' one here - just the generic curry powder. That said, I'm tempted to try Chinese 5-spice.... hmmmm *brain whizzes around*

tuna

mayo

dill pickle

tuna
mayo (not lowfat or fat free)
diced onion
good sized diced pickles (not teeny dice, my husband likes big farm fresh looking pieces)
good sized sliced celery
garden fresh jalapeno
chopped cilantro

This is really good wrapped in a large romaine lettuce leaf.

If you don't care for mayo based tuna salad, my grandmother would make something we called "Italian tuna".

Tuna
Red Wine Vinegar
Chopped Celery
Red Onion
Salt
Pepper

I love it because it's cheap, clean and a nice change from mayo based tuna salad. But every once in awhile - gotta have the mayo based kind. Mmmm.......

Hubby adds yellow mustard and celery seed to his standard Miracle Whip tuna salad - he SWEARS by it.

I used to love making tuna and white bean salad, too, but haven't made it in a while...it's delicious on top of a garden type salad!

I use tabbouleh salad in my tuna as well. I only add in some black pepper to it. I will have to try your recipe. Yay for tabbouleh tuna!

I used to ALWAYS make my tuna w/ mayo, but I have since discovered the joys of Greek yogurt as a substitute.

My recipe:

1 can tuna
A few tbsp greek yogurt
Mustard
Cut up celery
Cut up bell peppers
Dill
Sliced Dill pickles
S&P

I usually pack it in my lunch and eat it on a rice cake or straight out of the container.

1 can of tuna in water
1 can of Canellini beans (drained and rinsed)

Quick, easy, and filling!

I use the following recipe to make my tuna salad a lot healthier but it still tastes the same as when you use a ton of mayo. It clocks in at around 100 calories a serving and the only difference is that it separates a bit when being stored. Easy enough to fix, you just stir it back up and it still tastes delicious!
