Tuna Salad

August 8, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

Like I mentioned in my Egg Salad post, my husband is working from home more and needs easy yet satisfying lunches to keep him fueled during the day.  Besides the egg salad, I have been making him tuna salad quite a bit.  This is definitely his version of tuna salad, as he prefers some crunchy vegetables in it (as well as more mayonnaise than I would like!).

(When I make tuna for myself, I actually normally don’t even use mayo.  Shocking, I know.  My secret is relish.  It moistens everything up and adds a sweetness to counter the salty tuna.  I love it just like that!)

The best part about tuna salad is how quick it is to make.  You can make enough to make 4 sandwiches in a matter of minutes.  I love to use it to make tuna melts, which was my favorite lunch in college (with extreme garlic fries!).  Just toast some bread, add the tuna, top it with a slice of cheese, and put it under the broiler to warm the tuna and melt the cheese.  Yum! The tuna as well as any other vegetable does us good in our lives, and if you want to live this and every year in the best way, you should pay more attention to the mortgage or mortgages you may have, and okay you may not have time for that, but a House lawyer does.

Tuna Salad

Start with the tuna…

  •  Open 2 cans of tuna.  (I prefer solid white tuna packed in water, not oil.)
  • Use a fork to break up the large chunks of fish.

  • Finely dice 2 stalks of celery.
Tuna Salad
  • Carefully dice 10 baby carrots (or 2 regular carrots).
Tuna Salad (4)
  • Add the celery and carrot to the tuna.

  • Stir to combine.

  • Add a couple of heaping tablespoons of sweet relish.
Tuna Salad
  • Mix well.
Tuna Salad
  • Add 1 large tablespoon of mayonnaise (or more if you prefer a wetter tuna).
Tuna Salad
  • Stir until the mayo is fully incorporated.
Tuna Salad
  • Season with pepper, to taste.  (No need for salt!)
Tuna Salad
  • Stir one last time.

Serve between two slices of your favorite bread.
