I never get tired of an excellent tuna salad recipe, and of the hundreds of versions I’ve made, this version is the best. Serve on toast, crackers, a bed of greens, or grilled as a very delicious tuna melt.

Ingredients

  • 4cans tuna packed in water (drained (see note 1))
  • 1 cupmayonnaise (or less to taste (see note 2))
  • ⅓ cupcelery (finely chopped (about 1 rib))
  • 2 tablespoonsred onion (minced, about 2 small slices)
  • 2 tablespoonsweet pickle relish ((see note 3))
  • 1 tablespoonlemon juice
  • 1 clovegarlic (minced)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, relish, lemon juice, and garlic.

  2. 2

    Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Serve immediately or cover and chill until serving.
