THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

YELLOWFIN TUNA SUMMER SALAD



Yellowfin Tuna Summer Salad image

Could there be a more delightful dish to usher in the beginning of the warm weather season than a delicious, crispy salad? As an added bonus, this salad is as pretty as a picture and tastes as good as it looks! We have used both the Yellowfin tuna (also known as Ahi tuna) marinated in lemon dill and olive oil, and the one with roasted garlic in olive oil. Both are equally delicious. My husband and I have a newsletter publishing company and work from home. I came up with this recipe because I needed something crunchy and filling for a mid-day meal. And one that wasn't calorie laden.
