Categories     Tuna Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) 9 1/4 oz. can tuna, packed in water (drained and flaked)
1 large apple, cored and chopped
1/3 c celery, chopped
1/3 c walnuts, chopped
1/3 c raisins, currants or chopped pitted dates
1/2 c plain nonfat yogurt (or lowfat)
1/4 c mayonnaise
large lettuce leaves
1/2 c shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, apple, celery, walnuts and raisins; set aside.
  • 2. In a small bowl combine yogurt and mayonnaise. Add to tuna-fruit mixture; toss gently. Cover, chill before serving.
  • 3. To serve, line 4 salad plates with lettuce leaves. Sprinkle cheese over lettuce. Spoon tuna-fruit mixture on top of cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Canned tuna is a convenient and affordable option, but it's important to choose a high-quality brand. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as this will add unnecessary calories and fat to your salad.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables. The vegetables in your Waldorf tuna salad should be fresh, crisp, and flavorful. This will help to create a salad that is both refreshing and satisfying.
  • Don't overdress the salad. Waldorf tuna salad is a relatively simple dish, so it's important not to overdo it with the dressing. A light vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is all that you need to bring the flavors together.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Waldorf tuna salad is best when served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting and the salad from becoming watery.

Conclusion:

Waldorf tuna salad is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With its combination of fresh, crisp vegetables, tender tuna, and creamy dressing, it's a salad that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're serving it for a casual lunch or a special occasion, Waldorf tuna salad is sure to be a hit.
