I've added homemade bacon bits (bacon rules!) to my version of Tuna
Salad because I read about it here on RFC. I didn't care too much for
the addition; it was more a textural problem than it was anything else -
I found the crunch bothersome in contrast with the tuna and little taste
enhancement. But, that doesn't mean it's not good As with anything,
milage does vary.

OK, I know it's another tuna salad, but here's my version.

Sky's Tuna Salad
++++++++++++++++++++++

2 small cans of solid, white tuna packed in water*
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped
1 small half red** onion, finely chopped
cayenne pepper (powdered)***
red pepper flakes***
some garlic (optional)***
lots of poppy seeds (a whole lot!)
3 to 4 parts*** mayo (MW not recommended)
1 part mustard*** of choice
1 part Durkees Special Sauce**** (optional)
dash++ Worchestershire
dash apple cider vinegar
spoonful (plus or minus) extra virgin olive oil
dash Tobasco
S&P
roasted slivered almonds for garnish

In a bowl, combine celery, hard boiled eggs, and onion. To that,
gently mix the dry spices, poppy seeds, and optional garlic until
integrated. In a separate container, add and mix well together the
'wet' ingredients: mayo, mustard, Worchestershire sauce, apple cider
vinegar, olive oil, and tobasco. Drain/press tuna and gently add to the
first bowl with the 'dry' ingredients. Then, fold together the dry and
wet ingredients until desired texture is obtained. Serve on toasted
bread as a sandwich or in hollowed whole tomatoes on a bed of lettuce.
Garnish with roasted slivered almonds.

This recipe is versatile. Add, change, and/or remove ingredients of
choice and their portions. For example, cilantro, parsley, edamame,
chickpeas, peas, zuchinni, bacon, avocado, bell peppers, spinach,
brocolli, carrots, whatevers. Don't forget, the Ultimate Kitchen Rule
always applies
