Jim J that’s my recipe took me years to decades to perfect it but yes to everything you said
I have eaten Tuna Salad with and without hard boiled eggs. Since childhood, with eggs, and find that it is not true Tuna salad for me unless it has eggs.
For this version, passed on the parsley and opted out for the lemon juice.

A chef at a very famous restaurant with awesome Tuna Salad said the secret is a dash of Worchestershire Sauce (which contains anchovies)!
Exactly how I make it, well kinda sorta! LOL Lemon juice is a MUST! And I have not ever tried mustard, so I will. Sorry to be “one of those” people! Tuna sandwiches bring back so many happy memories. ENJOY!
Simple and flavorful. I followed the recipe to a T (used dijon mustard option). Picky boyfriend approved! Did not even need to add lemon juice. Dependable recipe!
I just found out I need a salad tomorrow for a women’s group and we are in the middle of a tropical storm, so first I thought legumes, but didn’t have all ingredients but I had tuna but I want the best tuna so where do you go? Food Network so thank you, I can do this w/out taking my life into my hands lol. Merry Christmas
There are as many ways to make tuna fish salad as there are cooks and most are pretty good I think. There are two things however that all the recipes should have in my opinion and that is tuna packed in oil and some type of roasted and chopped nuts. Pecans, pine nuts, or walnuts are great. I like the idea of cashews and will try that next.
The best I had over 40 years ago at a sandwich stand at the mall
When they were shutting down they gave me the secret, ground cashews
Put whatever you want but add ground cashews

Since I started making this recipe Ive been making it almost every week. Its so simple & good. I sometimes add red bell pepper. I use solid white albacore.
loved this. used green spring onion instead for more crunch. skpped the black pepper, used kosher salt & old bay, also some celery salt. skipped the parsley as well, it was really, really good served on regular sandwich white loaf slices & lettuce. didn’t have any problem with it being watery with the lemon juice. we used plain canned tuna/white, but bet this would be fantastic with large chunk albacore. might try spiking in a little anchovy paste in the next batch.
