Yesterday I made tuna salad, so I was so excited to eat lunch today.
When I make tuna salad, I like to eat it the next day.

tuna, oil packed
mayo
purple onion, chopped
celery, chopped
pickle relish

I prefer tuna salad that has sweet chopped apples, like Fuji. He does
not like apples in his tuna, so I leave it out. I was pushing it when I
added chopped celery. I also like boiled eggs in my tuna and I usually
add toasted pecans.

And you?

I start with water packed, preferably skipjack although I haven't
been able to find that for several years.

Mayo, chopped shallot (purple onion would be just as good),
pickle relish, EVOO, ground black pepper and, in some combination,
lemon juice and white vinegar. If I want to add more seasonings,
Tabasco and Bay Seasoning are on the list.

A small amount of diced red bell pepper doesn't hurt. They are
not in season however.

For salmon salad from canned red salmon, same approach.

Tuna in spring water, celery, hard boiled eggs, sliced black olives
(sometimes I use rinsed, chopped nopalitos instead), a little yellow
mustard, Miracle Whip, diced sharp cheddar, and whatever else is laying
around that looks like it might taste good. Mostly on whole grain bread,
often just on a leaf of lettuce, sometimes toasted under the broiler.
Grew up on the stuff and still like it. I only buy the twelve-ounce cans
I like it so much.

And me? Now I'm hungry for tuna salad. I usually just make it with
diced onion and celery and mayo, but I use water packed tuna. I might try
some egg and I'd love the pecans, but I'm cutting all nuts out of my diet
until I find the IBS culprit. Peanuts seem to be it so far.

Tuna, mayo (NOT miracle whip), onions, boiled egg, celery, generic 'Italian
blend' spice. Occasionally Old Bay if the spirit moves me.

Best on rye, with swiss.....tuna on one slice, top with cheese, pop under
broiler until cheese softens. Top with other slice.......ohhhhhh now that's
what I call good eatin'.

Albacore packed in water, drained
fair amount of celery plus a teaspoon or two of celery seed
chopped shallots
a tablespoon or two of sweet pickle relish
chopped boiled eggs

Always better after thoroughly chilled, usually overnight.

I mix:

1 can of tuna
Approx. 1/4 cup of lime based mayo
1 stalk of fine chopped celery
2 Tbs. or so of dill pickle relish
1 to 2 Tbs. Mustard
1 tsp. or so of salt free lemon pepper
A generous sprinkling of dried dill weed
1 pinch of granulated garlic
1 pinch of onion powder

Serve on crackers or toast, or chicharones or celery stalks if staying
low carb. ;-d

Black olives are really good in tuna salad, I agree. I've added them a
time or two.

But, the last (and only) time I tried adding hard boiled eggs to tuna
salad, it just did not appeal. I ended up giving that batch to one of
the dogs. :-( He loved it.

I feel for you with the IBS. The culprit for me was mostly wheat.

Black olives are good, but I prefer coarsely chopped green "salad"
olives.

We're all different. I like them, at least sometimes.

I make mine much like the above, but I use dried onions, celery and
bell peppers. They absorb much of the liquid, resulting in a thicker
tuna salad, perfect for sandwiches. It has to stand for several hours
until the vegetables rehydrate. ALWAYS better the next day.

In addition to the relish, I use dill weed, and sometimes add one of
Penzey's oriental spice mixes or Old Bay.

I don't use relish but your other stuff is all good. I never make it
the same but lemon pepper, Italian spice blend, and chopped capers
usually get in the mix. Sometimes olives but not with capers.

I open two sometimes three cans of tuna (cats ya know) and I like to
make enough for the next day. I add finely minced celery, finely
minced onion, finely minced bell pepper, finely minced parsley, a
little black pepper, I add dill weed too, and mayo natch... cats get
theirs before I add anything.

Aren't chicharones pork cracklings... with tuna salad wouldn't that be
chicken of the TIAD? Maybe it'd work... I often top a tuna salad
sammiche with tater chips, even cripy chow mein noodles... you'd
prolly top yours with bacon bits, so why not chicarones.

Just like Hard boiled eggs added to blue box mac and cheese. :-)
That combo _does_ work for me but I've seen more than one person here
post that it sounds like a bad combo.

I think it's delicious.

The cats get the juice. :-) They always know when I am opening cans of
tuna and crowd around, rubbing against my ankles and meowing. I do
purchase tuna cat food for them too.

It's an Atkins thing, and yes it works. ;-) Most fried pork rinds are
kinda neutral flavored and are a good low carb substitute for crackers
etc.

<lol> I'm betting bacon bits might actually go well in Tuna salad with
some shredded lettuce mixed in. ;-) Never tried that!

Don't knock it until you have tried it. <g>
At least I've actually _tried_ the hard boiled eggs, and decided I did
not like them...

I'll try almost anything once, within reason!

I like black olives in tuna salad too.

On the other hand, my macaroni salad has tuna and green olives. Go
figure.

I don't think I would like hard cooked eggs in tuna, but I do like
hard cooked eggs stuffed with tuna. Does that even make sense?

Not all taste buds taste things the same way, go with the flow
grasshopper. If you like it, eat it.

Now that's just wrong! Just kidding! I like the color contrast of the
black olives with the white macaroni, but I'd probably like the taste of
the green olives (and those salad olives have bright red pimiento, also)
better.

No, but food preferences often don't. Do yourself a favor next time you
make tuna salad, and set aside a little bit in a separate bowl and add
some egg to it. If you don't like it, you haven't lost much. If you
do, then you've learned something.

Pitted black olives are best eaten off your year old grand kid's
