I enjoyed this simple but satisfying recipe. I used raisins and added some datil vinegar.
I really liked this simple tuna salad.
Yummy, I’ve even tried adding grapes thanks to my adopted Momma who I I’ve known for 60 plus years. She just halves them and adds them to both her chicken and tuna salad it is yummy. Of Course She’s been consistently cooking for an Awesome Italian family For many years and everything thing she does is “The Best”
Great dish. Quick to make. I added golden raisins and dried onions and let the dish sit overnight. Wow, my husband loved it!
This tuna salad is amazing on those Hawaiian dinner rolls. Added some chopped celery for added crunch. Skipped the dill because I am not a fan of dill. Made a whole tray of these for a pot luck and there was not one left!
This turned out good, but I knew it would be too bland for us as written. However, it was a good base. I used dried cilantro instead of dill and, as suggested by another reviewer, used some curry powder. I added probably another tablespoon of cranberries and some red onion.
Excellent! I used light mayo and dill relish instead of dill weed. I was able to put less mayo in because the relish helped keep it moist.
I made it as written and ate 4s in a single meal. It was quick and good, but also a bit dry and bland. Next time I would add a little more mayo and probably try some of the other reviewers’ additions, such as curry, onion or celery.
Quick, simple and very good. The cranberries add a sweet twist.
When I saw this recipe, I thought as a tuna salad lover, I had to try it! Well, it’s amazing. I had to add double the mayo so it wasn’t too dry. I also left it in the fridge for a few hours so the cranberries really had a chance to blend in. Other reviewers felt it needed texture, just a little bit of lettuce was more than enough. Can’t say how much I love this!
I would NEVER think to out cranberries in a tuna salad. It tastes so good! I didn’t have dill weed so I used chopped dill pickle. I added slivered almonds for crunch. I don’t think I will ever eat plain Jane tuna salad ever again.
loved the cranberries! used lite mayo and added celery and fresh red pepper. will make again. Thanks!
Made as directed and liked it. Then decided to make changes to suit my taste – felt it needed more mayo; however, since I do not care for low fat mayonnaise and did not want to increase the regular mayonnaise, I added a dollop of Greek yogurt. In addition, I added chopped celery. May try with slivered almonds in the future. I also increased the dill to suit my taste buds. Since I watch my carb intake, serving on a bed of lettuce is a good option.
This is a GrEaT recipe!! Tweeked it just a little bit & the results were very tastie! It is quick and tastes great.
Pretty good. More mayo the better. A bit of spicy mustard adds flavor. The cranberries give it that perfect sweetness and a nice added texture. Leave out the dill unless you really like dill. Added some sliced almonds for an extra crunch- good but not necessary. Great on a toasted English muffin.
I really enjoy this recipe. It has just the right amount of mayonnaise (ie, not that much) and a slightly sweet taste. It’s perfect for a picnic or hot summer day at home.
I think this is a great base for this style tuna salad, I only gave four stars due to my alterations in the recipe. I omitted the dill weed, added half an apple chopped, half a stalk of celery chopped. The tuna brand DOES matter, I had done my first batch with Starkist Albacore in water and the next time used Bumble Bee.. all were happier with the Starkist.. was more chunky as oppossed to the fine texture of Bumble Bee. Use a good Mulitgrain bread and toast it with some crisp Romaine and wala! My hubby even likes this!
Loved loved loved! I am not a fan of mayonnaise so I substituted avocado.
I made this for my kids’ school lunch, although the first batch was so good I ate it myself, and had to make a second for their lunch! My kids LOVED it in their school lunch. We ate ours with saltine crackers… delicious!!!
Very delicious~! It’s a nice change from how I usually eat tuna, sweet instead of tart. I used all the ingredients as directed, but I added the mayonnaise according to taste. I found that the original 2T was just too dry for me. I also added about 2T of sliced and chopped almonds, and roughly 2T of freshly chopped apple. I ate it on toasted whole wheat bread with Laughing Cow Spreadable Low Fat Creamy Swiss Cheese spread on it, and it was delicious!
I love tuna salad for lunch and when I came across this recipe it sounded different so I thought I’d give it a try. I used only one 6 oz. can of tuna with 2 Tbsp. of Hellman’s light mayo and curry powder vs. dried dill weed. I added some chopped celery for some crunch and a little salt and pepper. This was a a nice departure from my usual tuna salad – slightly sweet and great on lightly toasted whole grain bread!
