Help me make tuna salad....

What do you put in your tuna salad when making it for a group? I usually put in mayo, onion, a little black pepper, some green pepper. I want it to be like the deli tuna salads. Help!Thanks!

I do light mayo, celery and sometimes carrots. I like onion too, but not everyone does. I've also done it on a wrap and drizzle a little balsamic, and top with alfalfa sprouts.

Re: Help me make tuna salad....

you could chop up broccoli or add raisins. A little lemon and shredded carrots are good too.

You can also squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon over the tuna before you add the mayo to help get rid of some of the fishy flavor.

In addition to the ingredients you listed, I like to add some finely chopped carrots and celery for crunch.

When I worked in a deli many years ago I made it with mayo (lots of it), lemon juice and celery. I still make it this way at home but sometimes use red onion in place of celery.

chopped tomatoes (remove seeds)
Capers
Fresh torn basil
Olive oil + lemon juice
Salt and Pepper

Like 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs and a squeeze of regular golden mustard.

I add the breadcrumbs in increments though b/c you don't want it to be grainy.
