-- Tuna Salad...

[ron l edmiston]

--- i've been in love with tuna salad for 68 years that i know of..
when most kids were ordering the hamburgers/cheeseburgers and hot dogs.., toasted cheese too ----
i was ordering tuna salad with my mom at the dime-store food counter.., or maybe that $.25 submarine
sandwich with the slice of green pepper and egg on top..
-- when i would come home from college.., after a hot date prior to home.., mom always had a "big bowl"
of tuna salad waiting for me --- for the weeee morning hours revival snack..
in the paddies of rice.., mom always sent me cans of tuna so i would whip-up some ----- never, never like mom's..

-- in corporate life i was always the one ordering a tuna salad plate in lieu of the prime rib plate..

and now tonight.., my tammy, center podium, with mom's recipe tuna salad --- no, it's now tammy's tuna salad..

thank you mom for the ocean's of tuna salad you made for me & teaching tammy well ---- i know someday you will
be waiting with your tuna salad for me..

Good tuna (solid white albacore, or High Seas smoked tuna - possibly my death row last meal)
Kewpie mayo, or homemade
Chopped celery
Toasted sourdough

Side of salty potato chips

I used to do sweet relish or bread-and-butter chips, but these days I like the crunch of celery. I could go back and forth on it though.

My mom quit asking me what I wanted for lunch, she was so sick of making tuna salad sandwiches for me every day.

Ahi poke is the only tuna salad for me. Mayo is an abomination.

I spent a vast portion of my life on this planet detesting tuna salad

...until I discovered three key ingredients:

- stone-ground mustard
- fresh dill
- frozen green peas

Now I could eat that chit every day.

Tuna salad, one of the very few things my Mom used to make. So I'm partial, heck yeah.

Dill, yes. Pickles, bring them. Mustard? I like Dijon.

But if you have not yet tried American Tuna, get the heck on board. Amazing stuff, I can never go back.

Eat it from the can with a fork. Never pour out the water. It is that good. And the UPS truck keeps it coming.

[thollandpe]

And to answer the question:

Whole wheat tortilla, warmed to just blistering on the burner (direct)
Schmeer of Dijon mustard
Finely sliced purple cabbage
American Tuna from the can, smushed with a fork
Arugula or green leaf lettuce, lots
Capers (fat) or thinly sliced dill pickles
Spritz of rice vinegar

Roll it tight.

Tuna salad is truly a staple food in my diet. Love it so much.
Coupled with provolone cheese, lettuce, onions, pepper, O&V.

Why did it take 11 posts for dill to show up?! We can hang...and split a dill and mustard tuna salad.

For "american" style with mayo then I recommend searing your own Ahi and then dicing that up for the tuna portion. sure, a bit of arugula.

Of course we only had canned growing up...but I liked putting cheeze-it crackers or goldfish on top before putting the second slice of bread on for an added bit of crunch. or, perhaps some cashew pieces instead.

Gotta try the Neiman Marcus cafe recipe.

Tuna Fish
Walnuts
Water Chestnuts
Soy Mayo
Salt and Pepper

all in a food processor....
