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.

CRAZY AWESOME TUNA SALAD!!!!!!!
This is the tuna salad I have been making for months and months and my boyfriend says I've perfected it... I agree... try it. We usually just eat it on toasted wheat bread but recently discovered it is great on tostadas! I do not like onions so I cut them up and he puts them on his but if you like them just toss them in!

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.

Steps:
- Dice up the onion and pickle. Mix it all together.
- I think the key to a good tuna sandwich is the bread though. Use a nice, fresh white bread and toast it lightly.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil or brine.
- Choose the right mayonnaise: Use a mayonnaise that is made with olive oil or avocado oil for a healthier option.
- Add some crunch: Celery, red onion, and cucumber are all great additions to tuna salad that add a nice crunch.
- Don't overmix the salad: Overmixing the salad will make it mushy. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
