since its just tuna salad, it doesn't belong in the pimpin thread. Im trying to eat healthy lately so ive been eating a lot of tuna. This morning i put together random items as follows:
3 cans chunk light tuna
sufficient mayo (i tend to go pretty light on the mayo)
2 hard boiled eggs sliced mashed
1/4 cup green onion diced
2 slices sweet pickle diced
lots of pepper
how can i improve this
Use fresh tuna. Once you do that you'll never want to eat canned tuna again.
Also I like to chop up an apple and put it in.
i like hot sauce on my tuna and egg salads
That kind of depends on what your complaint is. Too bland? Looking for more veg in it?Quote:

QFT. If you have Whole Foods grocery store in your area they have excellent fresh tuna. It costs $19/lb but once you eat it you will know why.Quote:

help me make tossed salad
Use dill relish instead of sweet. Much better, IMO. Add a dash of cayenne, and salt to taste.
And don't skimp on the mayo, ldo
sub some sour cream for mayo.
capers.
lemon zest/juice.
leave out mayo all together and go for a sort of mediterranian vinaigrette. Lemon juice, whute wine vinegar,garlic, caper, shallot grapeseed oil (oo is fine if thats all you have) and a bit of sugar to round it out.
other suggestions in this thread are good, but be careful how you combine them. A tuna salad with all these things added would end up tasting like crap, gotta get the right combos eldeeoh
i like the tuna sandwich at wichcraft
fennel, lemon, back oolives--can't remember the other stuff on it
no mayo on it

If you're trying to eat healthy you cant have mayo. Its like eating lard.
I eat my tuna with BBQ sauce and whole wheat bread. It doest taste as good, but its much better for you.
Try Tuna Nicoise Salad: http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes...ecipe_p_1.html
Its got a ton of flavour in it, but its quite an assortment to put together. U can simplify it obv, especially the vinaigrette.
oh and +1 for not using canned tuna, quickly sear sum fresh tuna steaks ftw
I make tuna with franks redhot and blue cheese dressing. No bread, no carbs, right out of the can.
I heard that place is really good, true story?Quote:

Good classic Italian tuna salad:
mix all the below together:
1x tin of tuna
1 x pepper
1 x red/sweet onion
1 x bunch of parsley finely chopped
1 x tin of borlotti beans (though can use most beans, though not kidney)
for dressing : 1 x lemon and olive oil, salt and pepper.
really simple, but serously good and healthy. Fuck mayo.
it is Tom Colicchio's sandwich joint, there are about 10 in manhattan.Quote:
