Nice combination of flavors.
I made the recipe but did not put dill weed and added Vidalia onion dressing, tasted yummy to me thank you for recipe.
I followed the recipe as written, adding a little more seasoning at the end to taste. The addition of the apple brought a nice bit of crunch and sweetness, and the relish and dill rounded out the taste nicely. I plan to make this recipe again.
I used a Honey Crisp apple and did not bother to peel it. I found it a bit on the dry side, hence the 4 star rating. A tasty salad that I would make again.
Love the flavors in this simple southern dish. The apples really pop
I cut the recipe in half since it was just for me; however, I ended up using the full amount of mayo and oil. I didn’t think I would like the addition of dill, so I started with considerably less than called for but ended up using all of it. I was surprised at how well the dill and apple complemented each other. A really nice variation for tuna salad!
I love this recipe. I modified it a little but all ingredients work well, I just wanted more of some.
How different! I loved it, don’t change a thing…
This was okay. I felt it was a lot of work for an okay result. I will probably just stick to the regular tuna with mayo, cheese, onion, eggs, and salt and pepper.
Yum.
It’s excellent. I added extra mayonnaise and relish.
The only thing I changed is that I probably almost tripled the mayo. Otherwise it’s great. Might swap for chicken and add grapes the next time. Either way I will DEFINITELY add hard boiled eggs.
I just made this and its wonderful. I dont normally like tuna salad , but my husband has been raving about a recipe his grandma used to make with apples so I thought I would try to find something similar. Not sure if it taste like hers or not but I think its great 🙂
Delicious. A great way to get protein and veggies- even better the next day served ice cold. My only substitution was a green spring onion from the farmer’s market.
Easy and delicious
I left out the olive oil and just used mayonnaise instead chopped a couple of boiled eggs into it. Husband carried it for lunch n this week and loved it.
Just as I remembered! Had a recipe like this 35/40 years ago and lost it. Mmmm good and good for what ails you!
This is perfect to eat when its a hot day outside and you don’t want to turn the oven on! The only thing i did different was that i added a little bit of celery and made it into a sandwich and used rye bread, it was sooo good with the apple in it!
I’m from South Texas, we like a little heat in our food, so instead of sweet pickle relish I used sweet pickled jalapenos. It is wonderful.
I grew up in Texas and we just call this Tuna Salad. Instead of the relish and dill, we chop up a few dill pickle slices. We also add a chopped up hard boiled egg and a bit more mayo. I moved to Indiana and was shocked that no one puts apples in tuna salad! Everyone that tries it, though loves it 🙂
I don’t normally like tuna, so the fact that I actually liked this recipe is really saying something. I made it for a luncheon as a sandwich filling on rolls. Almost everyone had at least two helpings (or more). I like how the tuna flavor is disguised and muted by the other flavors.
