  • A delicious new twist on tuna!

    Lynn S - March 30, 2008 02:17:52 PM PST
    I was skeptical about this recipe because I\'ve been making my tuna salad the same way for years -- with mayo and pickle relish, and celery if I had it on hand. I followed this recipe exactly, and was surprised at how yummy the apples and basil made it. I even used the lemonnaise and didn\'t detect a taste difference from regular mayo, except maybe that it has a lighter taste. This salad is fantastic, and is equally good on a sandwich as it is all alone. I should add that I used tuna in a jar packed in oil, and I think that made a big difference -- it was yellowfin tuna and really tasty even by itself right out of the jar.

  • Excellent Tuna Salad....Pitiful Attitudes!

    The salad is an extraordinary twist on an old favorite. Good grief.... how in the world did it get so many thongs in a knot??

    I don\'t see conspiracy. I don\'t see capitalism. Simply, an adventurous, palate pleasing approach to an old stand-by.

    The lemonnaise suggestion just kicked it all up a notch. By the way: sometimes we DO get what we pay for. Don\'t be such haters to higher end products! Every once in a while they make all the difference between so-so and phenomenal!

    Definitely a winner for me. I have been making my TS with apple and celery but minus the basil for many years!

  • I tried something new and loved it.

    If you want to eat your mom\'s tuna salad then that\'s okay. The more adventurous among us are willing to try new things and this recipe is the best in my opinion and I have no opinion on world peace or any other topic but I know my mouth said "Yum!"
