Not Your Moms Tuna Salad
From sparow64 16 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Created this from several different recipes when looking for a different tuna salad to take to a work luncheon. Everyone loved it. One lady kept asking "But, why is it so good? It's tuna..." lol Measurements are approximate - I didn't write them down, cook time is chill time - I made the night before, I would make at least a few hours ahead to give the flavors time to marry.
Ingredients
- 2 large cans white, albacore tuna packed in water, drained shopping list
- 1/4 c pitted kalamatta olives, drained and chopped OR 1/4 c spanish queen olives, drained and sliced shopping list
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped (or roasted red peppers) shopping list
- 2 T capers, drained shopping list
- 1/4 red onion, diced shopping list
- 2 roma tomatoes, choped shopping list
- juice from a lemon wedge shopping list
- Dukes Real Mayo - to consistency shopping list
- 2 t Dijon mustard shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper shopping list
- couple shakes old bay shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all ingredients except mayo in large mixing bowl
- Add a little mayo at a time, until reaches consitency...easier to add than to take away...probably uses 1/4 c or less...
- Chill until serving
- Serve on crusty french bread with cheddar cheese, or on green, leafy lettuce
- No salt needed - gets plenty from the olives and capers
