"Your" Tunafish Recipe

Today's lunch, tunafish.  Yummy!

I know there are many ways that people like to make tunafish.  Growing up this is how my mother made it, so this is how I make it (and how I prefer it):

Tunafish:
INGREDIENTS:
Tunafish
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder
Mayo

In a small mixing bowl combine chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery (as much or as little of all three as you like).  Add a can of tuna, ground pepper (to taste), salt (to taste), garlic powder (to taste) and mayo (as much or as little as you desire).

Serve on bread; toast, toasted english muffin or with crackers.

(*my mom tends to chop the veggies rather finely, I prefer them a tad larger.  and, I like to use a red onion for a slightly sweeter taste and another splash of color.)

Two variations:

The Tuna Melt - after the tuna has been mixed, place a toasted english muffin on a baking sheet, add some tuna and cover with a slice of american cheese (or cheddar if you wish), place under broiler and broil until the cheese has melted and edges become browned.

Tuna - for a sweet tooth - instead or chopped veggies, or perhaps in addition to the chopped onion, add a tablespoon (or so) of relish and mix.

NOW ... how do you make your tunafish???

  1. My tuna fish usually looks something like this:

    Onion powder
    Garlic powder
    Ground turmeric
    red pepper flakes
    salt
    cracked pepper
    carrot (finely chopped)
    celery (finely chopped)
    dill pickle (coarsely chopped)
    brown mustard (~1 tablespoon/can of tuna)
    light mayo (~2-3 tablespoons/can of tuna)

    All spices are added to taste. I use solid albacore tuna packed in water.

  2. I make it just like Margaret - isn't that amazing. Only I tend to use more mayo - since that's what my husband likes. I also like it with sweet relish now and again - when I want to eat it like an Hors douvre - on top of saltines.
