Anyone know of a good tuna salad recipe?

I usually do it with miracle whip salad dressing,but my kids are tired of it. Any suggestions?Anyone know of a good tuna salad recipe?
Any of the above would be delish, I just always add


hard boiled eggs ( chopped )Anyone know of a good tuna salad recipe?
Use real mayonnaise, chopped green olives in the tuna sandwiches.





Instead of real mayo or miracle whip, bind the tuna with applesauce!





Use mayo, sweet pickle relish and tuna for great sandwiches.





Make a pasta salad with the tuna and whatever else you like.





OR:





Sydne's Low Carb Tuna Melt

Barbie's Tuna Salad

3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish 1/8 teaspoon dried minced onion flakes


1/4 teaspoon curry powder


1 tablespoon dried parsley


1 teaspoon dried dill weed

NO MAYONNAISE TUNA SALAD:





3 - hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped


3 tbsp. sweet pickle relish or ½ cup bread and butter pickles, chopped


1 tbsp. sweet pickle juice


½ white or yellow onion (small), chopped - OPTIONAL


3 stalks celery, chopped - OPTIONAL


2 - 6oz cans tuna packed in oil, 1 can drained, 1 not drained


Salt and pepper to taste





The oil from one can of the tuna and the tablespoon of sweet pickle juice will give this mixture the moisture it need without using mayonnaise. You can also adjust the moisture by how “hard” you boil your eggs. Softer boiled eggs will give more moisture to bind the tuna salad.





Mix the tuna - both cans and 1 can with oil NOT drained, relish, pickle juice, onion and celery. Gently add hard-boiled eggs. Then, taste and adjust flavor with salt and pepper to your preference.

I know this isnt a recipe, but I've tried Allfreshseafood.com's tuna salad and I absolutely loved it. Take my word, dont take my word....but at least give it a try. Use AFSWEB as the coupon code to save 20% on the purchase or any purchase from the site. The link for the tuna salad is below.
i make it with a box of deluxe mac and cheese, cook first and add cheese then add tuna seasonings, salt and pepper and add fresh peppers and onions if youd like. you can also do it with just the macoroni tuna mayonnaise and fresh peppers, refrigerate for about 30 minutes and eat
Make regular tuna salad,add plain cooked Macaroni,mayo and ranch dressing.It's delicious!
