NEW WIFE TUNA SALAD



New Wife Tuna Salad image

My husband says this tuna salad is even better than his mother's. Not too pickly tasting, mild with a nice blend of flavor. You can add more mayo for a creamier salad.

MY MOTHER'S TUNA SALAD



My Mother's Tuna Salad image

This is Julia Reed's favorite tuna salad, the one she subsisted on for years as a child, eaten with a fork straight out of a container in her mother's refrigerator. It's an unfussy thing that is exactly suited to be layered between two pieces of white bread - toasted, if you must - and then eaten at the kitchen table, or, after summer ends, at the lunchroom table. The ingredients are simple and easily acquired, and be sure to use real mayonnaise.

MOM'S COLD TUNA SALAD



Mom's Cold Tuna Salad image

I was raised in Phoenix, Az Need I say more HOT, HOT, HOT! So 110 degrees on average in summer you don't cook much so the house doesn't get too hot. This was always well received. I still live in AZ but in the mountains so 90 degrees is much better than 110. This is such a nice easy dinner in the summer.
