Tuna Salad

[doreenb]

There used to be a locally owned drugstore in our city, and the owner/druggist went/graduated w/ my parents from HS. They had a lunch counter there that had the BEST tuna salad sandwiches!!!!

Here is the recipe that I duplicated:

1 large can of tuna albacore, well drained, dont use the chunk light, must be the white
3 or 4 stalks of celery hearts, chopped
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Hellmans mayo till you get to the texture you desire - NO Miracle Whip in this
Salt/pepper

Chill


Variation: add shredded cheddar cheese to the cold salad. Toast English muffins, top the toasted muffins w/ tuna and a slice of your favorite cheese, and broil till cheese is melted. Serve w/ a nice green salad!

Re: Tuna Salad

I like to mix tuna salad in with tiny pasta. This recipe sounds good Doreen!
Hellman's is the very best by far!

Re: Tuna Salad

probably, what made the salad so delicious was that they probably used the tuna that was canned with oil I can remember when that's all that was available

Re: Tuna Salad

Tuna in oil is so much better tasting ~ I also prefer Chicken of the Sea brand. Thanks for the recipe Doreen

I agree that tuna in oil is the bestt!But,sometimes its just not available. So what I do is drain the nasty water off& add some olive oil to the tuna..Its very good flavor & moistens it well.

I put my canned water packed tuna (two large cans) in a flour sack dish towel, and squeeze every bit of water possible out of it, THEN add EVOO, to it. I then add a teaspoon of Wright's Liquid Smoke, along with the usual ingredients, celery, red onion, REAL mayonnaise, and salt... Et Voila, DELICIOUS smoked Tuna Salad!
