I make a tuna salad that my DS, DDIL and grands all love. Late DH didn't like tuna! I use tuna packed in water, mayo only (NO Miracle Whip yuck) and sweet pickle relish. It's the best! It's good when used in a Romaine leaf wrap as well. But we love it this way.

I make mine the same way, but with the edition of chopped hard boiled eggs. Ymmmm

I used to make tuna salad with well drained water packed tuna, chopped sweet pickles, chopped celery, and a little onion with Dukes mayo.  Out sons loved it.

Now I get half a pound from Fresh Market.

I use water packed Starkist Light Tuna, add just enough mayo (Duke's ONLY) to hold it together, and chopped hardboiled eggs. Add a little garlic salt and coarse ground black pepper and put it between two slices of toasted bread--sourdough is wonderful, but plain ol' white bread is good, too. My favorite lunch--though I don't eat it very often!

@Love my grandkids  I don't remember who gave me the idea, but I put a little sweet pickle relish in my egg salad, too (along with mayo).

Ordering a tuna sandwich in a local restaurant when traveling around the country is always worthwhile. So many different versions.

When I was a little girl, my mother would take me to a restaurant where they stocked the 3 ounce Bumble Bee cans. They opened a can and made their salad fresh for every customer.

That's cool!

Here's mine:

One can Albacore tuna, drained 

Chopped green olives 

Minced dry onion 

Garlic salt (just one shake)

Lemon and pepper seasoning 

Celery seeds 

Kraft light mayonnaise 

All ingredients to taste. Mix together.

Our favorite way to have it is spread on a toasted buttered mini Kaiser roll, topped with a cross (plus sign) of Cheddar cheese, and broiled in the toaster-oven until the cheese has melted.  

DH's favorite.

My mom used the minced dry onion in hers - so good.  Your tuna melt sounds wonderful.

@Chopsmom - I make mine the way my mom did too, with the minced onion! She also made tuna melts, but used regular toast for hers.

Subway is our tuna salad sandwich of choice.

When making tuna salad at home, we use:

white tuna in water

chopped egg

mayo

dill relish

black pepper

Pretty simple but tasty.

Sounds delicious but can you give the amounts of the ingredients? Thanks.
