FRESH TUNA SALAD
There is no comparison between canned and fresh tuna salad. The taste of fresh is just so good! This salad can be used as stuffing for tomatoes, avocados, for sandwiches or as an appetizer with crackers. It's very easy to make, too. I don't like my tuna salad to have a lot of mayonnaise so you may want to add more, to taste. You may also want to play around with the spices, sometimes instead of Old Bay I'll use chopped jalapenos or add chopped fresh herbs like dill and chives. *To note, one reviewer questioned the amount of time I suggest boiling the fish and here's my answer to that: "This recipe is not for a Rare Tuna salad, it's more of a tuna salad for sandwiches, more like the diner tuna salad they make out of tinned tuna, only much better. If you are in search of a recipe for seared tuna to use in Salad Nicoise, this is not it".

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with about 1 quart of water and add the liquid crab boil.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add the tuna and boil, on medium, for about 15 minutes, or until the tuna starts breaking apart easily.
- Remove from the heat, drain, and place the tuna in a large bowl.
- With a fork and small paring knife break apart, or shred the tuna, however you prefer it. We like a combination of shreds and little chunks.
- Then toss in the celery and onion.
- Mix the mayonnaise and the Old Bay and stir into the tuna.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Sometimes I will add salt, pepper, hot sauce -- you decide how spicy you want it.
- You can serve it at room temperature or chilled.

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:
- 1. Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna on the first side for 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn with a spatula and sear for 3 minutes longer or until cooked to your preference. Let the tuna rest for 5 minutes.
- 2. Flake the tuna into 1x1/2-inch pieces and remove to a large bowl. Toss gently with the celery, apple, and scallions. Season with salt.
- 3. Fold mayonnaise and basil into the tuna. Serve in radicchio cups with toasted peasant bread.
Tips
- For the best flavor, use fresh, sushi-grade tuna. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can use frozen tuna that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Flake the tuna with a fork instead of chopping it with a knife. This will help to keep the tuna moist and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of crunchy vegetables in your salad, such as celery, onion, and cucumber. This will add texture and flavor to the dish.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, to your salad. This will brighten up the flavor and make the salad more refreshing.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or a lemon-herb dressing. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tuna and vegetables without overpowering them.
Conclusion
Fresh tuna salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
