THE BEST TUNA SALAD
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.

CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME
This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.

TUNA, CHEESE AND PASTA SALAD
Three-color pasta, cubed cheese, tuna, and roasted sweet peppers blend into a spunky salad that we enjoy over 2 suppers during hot summer days. This is an excellent salad that I've served with or without cashews since sometimes I forget those. Fresh basil is essential to this recipe and we just have some fancy fresh breads and butter with it. I don't recall which of my magazines I got this from but it's favorite of mine.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil and is sustainably sourced. Solid white albacore tuna is a good choice, as it has a mild flavor and firm texture.
- Choose the right mayonnaise: Use a good-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of. If you prefer a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins to create your own unique tuna salad. Some popular options include celery, onion, dill, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, and olives.
- Season to taste: Don't forget to season your tuna salad with salt, pepper, and any other spices you enjoy. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: For the best flavor, chill your tuna salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Cheesy tuna salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
