ALBACORE TUNA SALAD
As far as albacore tuna recipes go, this one's my favorite! Sweet apples, golden raisins, celery, nuts, tuna and a tropical taste of pineapple add up to a simply wonderful salad. And leftovers are as delicious as the first bite. Sometimes I substitute grapes for the raisins. -Barbara Moravek, Jay, Florida

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.

BARBIE'S TUNA SALAD
This is a really great tuna salad recipe I got from a friend who used it in her catering service business many years ago. The secret ingredients are the curry and Parmesan cheese! Odd combinations but this makes a terrific tuna sandwich! She used it for an appetizer with gourmet crackers and people always wanted her recipe. I have never tasted another tuna salad quite like this one, and it has been my favorite recipe for tuna salad for many, many years.

Tips:
- For the best tuna salad, use high-quality canned albacore tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil, not brine.
- Flake the tuna with a fork before adding it to the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the tuna from becoming mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your tuna salad. Some good options include celery, onion, carrot, and cucumber.
- Add some herbs and spices to your tuna salad for extra flavor. Good choices include dill, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
- If you're using mayonnaise in your tuna salad, be sure to use a good quality brand. Cheap mayonnaise can be watery and flavorless.
- Season your tuna salad to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs and spices until it reaches the desired flavor.
- Serve your tuna salad on a bed of lettuce or with crackers or bread.
