Any one have a good tuna salad recipe other than just mayo?

I love deli tuna salad. I tried one at a Randals Food store that had raspberries, grapes, and walnuts. I just don't know what type of dressing to use.The ladies at the deli wont give me the recipe either.Anyone?,,,Any one have a good tuna salad recipe other than just mayo?
I am becoming very fond of tuna with (';bread and butter'; pickled jalapeno pickles)[sweet and spicy]. As to the salad add broken not chopped pecans small apple and/or pear bits (fresh) and if you tire of mayo use sour cream with a little sugar and Dijon mustard. (My sister served me a potatao salad using a little mayo with butter milk and a few herbs. It was delicious. This combo may work as well. Anyone can bore you to death with bland and uninteresting food. Be polite but go do it better yourself and have some fun.Any one have a good tuna salad recipe other than just mayo?
Here it is...








1 (12-ounce) can white albacore tuna, drained


2 chopped green onions


1 stalk celery, diced


1/4 cup stuffed green olives, chopped


2 tablespoons capers, diced


1/4 cup slivered almonds


1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


1/4 cup mayonnaise


1/4 cup sour cream


In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, green onions, celery, green olives, capers and almonds.


In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream and the Worcestershire sauce. Blend together dressing and tuna mixture.


Serve on bed of lettuce or your choice of fresh bread as a tuna salad sandwich.














OR

















Beet And Tuna Salad





14 ounces solid white tuna, chilled, will drained and flaked


1 cup chopped celery


3/4 cup mayonnaise


1/3 cup minced green onions


1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


1 small clove garlic, minced


1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed, crushed


1/2 teaspoon salt


Freshly ground pepper to taste


Lettuce leaves


1 1/2 pound fresh cooked beets, sliced, well drained


2 hard cooked eggs, chopped





In a small bowl, combine tuna and celery. In a separate small bowl, blend mayonnaise, green onions, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper until smooth. Combine dressing with tuna mixture. Cover salad plates with lettuce. Divide beets and arrange on top of lettuce. Spoon on tuna salad; top with eggs. Serve immediately.
You can try this basic recipe then add your fruit to it. All they are doing is substituting the fruit for relish to make it sweet.





Use Canned tuna in Oil for the best flavor


2 hard boiled eggs, chopped fine


1/4 cup diced fresh onion


1/4 cup green or red pepper (sweet)


1/2 cup or more of mayonnaise, use your judgment.


Add either a couple of tbsp of sweet relish, or diced apple, diced pineapple, chopped pecans or walnuts with the fresh fruit about





Mix it all up, and serve on a bed of lettuce, or in a tomato, or on sandwich bread.





I hope this helped
As you can tell from the deli anything goes-feel free to experiment.


Put in anything you think you would like.


Here is one I like:


Blend tuna with Miracle Whip or mayo and add chopped onion,garlic,celery,cilantro to taste, and salt,pepper,dash of Worcestershire sauce,dash of mustard and a little lemon juice


Yum..


Always add things to YOUR taste --make it the way you want it.Don't like garlic--that's ok use it..
don't know about the tuna salad at Randals, but when making tuna salad remember you can use any salad dressing not just mayo - such as, ranch, italian, bleu cheese, whatever is your favorite, they pretty much all taste good with tuna (or any meat). Maybe the one they are using is poppyseed - it seems like that would go well with fruit and nuts in any case....
My parents when they make food they well put any mystery that they haven't tried but anyway





green pepper


red pepper


onions


black olives


black pepper





and once my mom added hot sauce lol but it was good





you could use ranch dressing too
Personally when i make tuna salad I just fallow the recipe and replace the mayo with sour cream
Plain yougurt is good... with a spoonful of curry powder in it. I add raisins and apples to that too, but not everyone likes the additions :D
plain yogurt :]

  • Can you recommend a good tuna sandwich recipe?

    I use good abacore tuna, put in the usual mayo or miracle whip (I am a miracle whip girl myself) then I add a pinch of cinnamon. I put the tuna on toast and place some red grapes (cut in half) on top and eat it as an open faced sandwich. I know it sounds unusual, but its very good. Give it a go you may really like it :)Can you recommend a good tuna sandwich recipe?
    These are fun to make.

    AMAZING!
    Hot Tuna Sandwiches





    6 oz Tuna in oil; drained and


    -flaked


    4 oz Shredded cheddar cheese


    3 Hard-boiled egg; chopped


    3 tb Each: chopped green pepper;


    -sweet


    Pickle; ripe olives and


    ; onion


    1/2 c Mayonnaise or salad dressing


    6 Sandwich buns; split





    Instructions:


    Combine tuna, cheese, eggs, green pepper, pick, olives, onion and


    mayonnaise; spread about 1/3 cup onto each bun. Wrap each sandwich in waxed


    paper; microwave on high for 30-45 seconds (per sandwich) or until the


    cheese melts.
    -can of tuna in water, drained thoroughly


    -about 2 tbs of miracle whip (i grew up on this stuff, some like and some don't, if you are using mayo, a little less than 2 tbs)


    -a little relish or chopped pickles of your choice


    -dash of salt and pepper





    1. drain the tuna thoroughly, should flake with a fork


    2. measure out all ingrediants and put into a bowl


    3. mix thoroughly with a fork until all tuna is coated


    4. serve on toasted bread or on top of your favorite crackers!





    enjoy! :0)
    I like to mix chopped dill pickles (a generous amount) in with tuna and enough mayo to the consistency you like. I like the saltiness of the pickles and their crunch. I like to toast the bread, too. This is making me hungry.





    Another often-overlooked idea is the tuna melt - mix your tuna with mayo, and whatever else you like in your tuna salad, then spread it on a piece of toast and top with a slice of cheese and run under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
    Ordinary tuna %26amp; mayo is boring! Try this:





    Tuna Sandwich with Olives, Tomatoes and Basil





    12 oz. tuna packed in water, drained, coarsely chopped


    1/2 cup pitted black olives


    6 tbsp. finely chopped celery


    1/4 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes


    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil


    1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes


    salt %26amp; pepper


    6 tbsp. mayonnaise


    2 tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate


    2 tsp. grated orange zest





    Combine tuna, olives, celery, sun-dried tomatoes plus 1 teaspoon of the oil the tomatoes were packed in. Add basil and red pepper flakes.





    In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, orange juice and orange zest. Add to tuna bowl and mix well. Adjust salt %26amp; pepper to taste.





    Tastes even better on toasted bread with lettuce or spinach.
    Ok, I recommend a good tuna sandwich recipe.
    See link and check the fork ratings.


    I've prepared the Tuna salad on olive bread (with some diced olives on Italian bread) and, almost, always prepare the last recipe on the first page, the Crunchy Tuna salad which is prep'd with celery and jicama. I had this at a neighbor's house 4 yrs. ago ~ it's the only one she makes. Many people didn't use the jicama (see reviews) but, what's the point of not using it when it's an ingredient? You can, also, serve this on cracker-thin slices of (peeled) jicama ... it's the same consistency as a well-drained water chestnut but has a mild, and slightly, fruitlike taste. Yum!!
    Tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, hard boiled eggs, celery, sweet or dill relish, salt and pepper. Mix well, and enjoy!

    Is tuna fish really bad for women?--and if you eat it, do you by any chance have a good recipe for tuna salad?

    I have heard many times that tuna fish is bad for women of childbearing age because it has high levels of mercury. I really enjoy eating Tuna Fish and take vitamins every day. I usually eat a tuna sandwich/sald 3-4 times a week.





    I have also heard that white tuna is safe and pink tuna is not, and have also heard vice versa, is either of these true?





    Also, if any one has a good recipe for tuna salad, I'd love you to share.Is tuna fish really bad for women?--and if you eat it, do you by any chance have a good recipe for tuna salad?
    I dont know about the other questions, but I do have a good recipe





    MAGIC TUNA FISH SALAD SANDWICHES





    2 cans of tuna fish packed in water


    1 bunch of green onions


    3 jalapeno peppers


    1 cup of bean sprouts


    1 cup of fresh white mushrooms


    1 medium tomato


    several leaves of romaine lettuce


    1 cucumber


    3 tablespoons of mayonnaise (or if you're concerned about fat/calories use fat-free mayo)


    parmesan or romano cheese (you can also top with sliced cheddar, monterey jack, pepper jack or muenster)


    2- 4 slices of whole wheat bread





    Chop the following ingredients into small pieces; green onions, mushrooms, set aside.


    Slice jalapenos down the middle from top to bottom, discard seeds, chop into small pieces and set aside.





    Slice tomatoes and peel and slice cucumbers, keep these ingredients seperate from the other veggies.





    In a large bowl mix 2 cans of drained tuna, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise thoroughly, add jalapenos, bean sprouts, green onions and mushrooms, stir ingredients until everything is mixed into tuna and mayonnaise.





    Spoon this mixture onto a slice of whole wheat bread covering bread evenly, top with cheese, tomato slices, lettuce and cucumber slices and finish with a slice of wheat bread on top. Cut diagonally serve with a slice of pickle and enjoy!Is tuna fish really bad for women?--and if you eat it, do you by any chance have a good recipe for tuna salad?
    Below is a link to a site that lists fish by how toxic it is, albacore tuna is ranked relatively high due to high levels of mercury and only 3 servings per month is recommended.





    The safest tuna to eat is supposedly the ';light';(Skipjack)tuna


    ithttp://www.oceansalive.org/eat.cfm?subnav=healthalerts Report Abuse

    I think fish in general is good for health. When you are pregnant, don't eat the canned type of fish and raw shellfish. They are toxic if they live in polluted waters. fresh fish is good.
    Tuna should be eaten in moderation
    Supposedly the albacore tuna (more expensive!) has more mercury in it than just the regular chunk light. I buy chunk light in water, not oil.





    The best tuna salad I know is: 2 6-1/2-oz. cans of tuna, 1/2 cup pickle relish, 3/4 to 1 cup of Miracle Whip or mayo (amount to suit your taste), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 medium stalks chopped celery (should be about 1 cup), 1/4 cup chopped onion if you like it, 3 cut-up hard-boiled eggs.





    Mix well. I think this is delicious, but it is such an easy recipe that, if you don't like something, you can leave it out. Some people substitute olives for the pickle relish, but to me that is too salty.





    Enjoy!
    I have heard that you would have to consume 4 cans of tuna per day for the levels of mercury to have any effect on your body.


    Tuna is a high protein, low fat-if in water, low carb, and low cal


    I eat it all the time.


    My favorite Recipe:


    Boil 1 cup Elbow Macaroni (not carb friendly) according to package directions


    1 small can black olive slices-drained


    1/2 Cup each-diced onion, red bell pepper, celery


    2 cans tuna in water-drained


    1 1/2 Cup mayo-NOT MIRICLE WHIP


    1/4 tsp. Paprika


    Mix well and serve chilled
    I've not ever heard that so that would be something new learned if it is true. I love tuna and eat quite a lot of it. My favorite and simplest recipe is just salad and I toss a can of tuna on it with my favorite dressing and viola' its a tasty meal.
    My female cat (Prissy) eats tuna everyday and has not had any problems for 10 years. ;0) But I know it does not apply here. I never heard that. I wish you the best! I would ask your OB/GYN.





    Oops. I just noticed you are not pregnant. I would ask a OB/GYN if you are trying to get pregnant and a family doctor if not.

    Anyone have a standard, easy recipe for tuna noodle casserole?

    And if you do, can it be frozen, for how long?Anyone have a standard, easy recipe for tuna noodle casserole?
    Yes, it can be frozen, wrapped well or in a Tupperware for several months. Do not bake before freezing, and thaw before baking.





    Basic recipe:


    1-16oz bag wide egg noddles, cooked and drained


    2 cans tuna, drained


    1 can cream of mushroom soup, not diluted


    1 cup frozen peas


    salt and pepper to taste


    crushed potato chips or crushed saltines





    Mix all together, pour into a casserole dish and cover top with crushed potato chips or crushed saltines. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 min. till heated through.





    FANCIER RECIPE


    In addition to above ingredients, you will need:


    1 cup frozen corn instead of peas


    8oz shredded sharp cheddar


    1-2 tsp dried dill weed (to taste)


    dried breadcrumbs


    paprika





    Make as above, except substitute frozen corn for peas, add dill weed to taste, and half the cheese. After pouring mixture into casserole dish, top with the rest of the cheese and enough dried breadcrumbs to cover. Sprinkle with paprika and bake as usual till heated through and top has formed a melted cheese crust. If freezing casserole, leave off breadcrumbs and paprika till ready to bake. Thaw before baking.

    What you need:





    1 pound of egg noodles cooked according to package directions


    2 eight ounce cans of tuna fish


    1 cup of mayonnaise


    1 large onion, chopped


    1 large green pepper, chopped


    2 cloves of garlic, finely minced


    2 tomatoes, chopped and seeded


    1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese


    3 tablespoons of olive or canola oil


    Butter for greasing casserole dish


    What you do:





    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Boil noodles according to package directions. Place cooked noodles into a bowl and add one tablespoon of butter or margarine and toss noodles. This will prevent your noodles from sticking. Heat frying pan under medium heat for one minute and then add olive or canola oil.


    Add chopped onion and pepper, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until the onions appear translucent, about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.


    Mix tuna, mayonnaise, and cooked vegetables in a large bowl. Butter baking pan or casserole dish. Add noodles and tuna/veggie mixture. Toss lightly to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.


    Cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.


    i have frozen this dish for 3 months and its been ok
    Cook your egg noodles, when done, drain them, add one can of cream of chicken soup, one or two cans of tuna (depending on how much you like) and mix it all up. Put it in a baking dish, and then crumble up Corn Flakes cereal and put it on top of the casserole. Bake it at about 375 for about 30-45 minutes. Very simple recipe. You can also jazz it up a bit and add in shredded cheddar cheese (about 1 cup) and about 1/2 cup of sour cream. These last two are optional. Hope this helps. I wouldn't freeze it though. Tuna being a fish won't taste that good thawed out. If you do freeze it, I wouldn't do it for more than just a couple of days or so.
    When my son was about 15 he an a friend put together a tuna casserole one afternoon, I was working and they were hungry. I was impressed. They used what I had on hand, things they were familiar with and did it all without direction. They just about eaten it all by the time I got home, but had saved me a taste. We sat down right then and recorded their recipe. To this day when my son comes home for a visit, we always make HIS tuna casserole recipe.

    Good tuna casserole recipe?

    I am looking to find a tasty, easy tuna casserole recipe. Usually tuna casserole tastes bland to me, but I am not sure what I should use to spice/flavor it up. If you have any suggestions or a good recipe, let me know!Good tuna casserole recipe?
    Our family recipes is 1 can of tuna, drained, 1 package of medium egg noodles, cooked, 1/2 jar of cheese-whiz, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all together and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1/2 hour or until the top starts to brown up a little bit. The cheese-whiz gives it a little different flavor. I've been known to add a 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper to it, also.
