Mine is for sandwiches (rye bread with lettuce maybe a tomato) and was stolen from the Nieman Marcus lunch cafe in Northpark Mall in Dallas, TX

Good canned tuna
Handful of pecans per can
Can of slice water chestnuts
Large spoonful of soy mayonnaise
Salt and pepper

Into a food processor.

Solid white tuna
Mayo
Sweet relish
Salt and pepper

Chopped celery adds the prefect crunch, no matter the rest of the ingredients.

High Seas smoked albacore ($$$, but so worth it)
Diced celery
Homemade mayo
Lightly toasted sourdough

Making me hungry!

Kirkland (costco) tuna is pretty good stuff.
+
mayo
celery
pecans
halved red grapes
little pepper & salt
dash of sriracha on top - never blended in

Sometimes I like some green olives in there
Always dill pickles, I am overloaded with them
Occasionally I will substitute a ripe avocado instead of mayo when I feel gourmet

We make tuna salad with chick peas , and it is amazing.

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup vaganaise
1 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
Pinch cayenne pepper, optional
Freshly ground pepper
Paprika

Mix it all together and put it on toast. Good stuff!

I get canned Bonita & Yellowtail from a cannery in Baja - La Bocana.

They aren't even on the WWW as far as I can tell = it's heavenly - otherwise, I smoke the fish myself, like these 20 kilo yellowtail or this Bonita, this is a slab of YT.

Keep it simple - it's all about the fish!

* Smoked fish, flaked
* finely diced celery
* finely diced green onion
* just enough mayo to stick it together
* S&P to taste

That's all, folks!

I worked in an Italian deli (not a gourmet one) in college (D'Agostino's East Arlington) and we'd mix Italian tuna packed in oil with chopped pickles, tomatoes, onion served on a sub roll with with lettuce. Not bad. Now I'd probably add to that parsley, and capers and lemon and Aleppo pepper.

When making mayo tuna I always liked what my mom did which was to add grated carrot, fresh herbs, celery, lemon maybe.. can't be sure.
