It reminds me of the tuna sandwiches my mother made for my school lunch! Try it with canned salmon and a squeeze of lemon. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe and bringing back happy memories!" — ShellyCooks View Recipe 02 of 16 Avocado Tuna Salad DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "This was really good and healthy. Will definitely add this to my list of good recipes! Didn’t change a thing." — BarbieLee View Recipe 03 of 16 Barbie's Tuna Salad DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS "Incredible! I made the recipe as written except I subbed fresh minced red onion which I already had on hand. Served on toasted sourdough bread with crisp lettuce leaves. Will try as a spread with crackers next time around. Great update on the classic tuna sandwich!" — Gucci Girl View Recipe 04 of 16 Tuna Fish Salad Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "Very tasty! I added some hot peppers to give it a little kick. There's a lot of flavors going on in this tuna salad, which balances the tuna instead of featuring it. I served it on toast and lettuce, though crackers would really highlight the flavors." — Etcbeatty View Recipe 05 of 16 Tuna Egg Sandwich "This was so perfect. I made this earlier this week and I ate it everyday for lunch at school. I had followed the directions 100%. Very nice and refreshing. I had added a couple dashes of hot sauce, it is a tuna habit of mine." — Ajaderecio View Recipe 06 of 16 Tuna Macaroni Salad Dotdash Meredith Food Studios "I've made this several times over the years! I use frozen peas instead of canned peas, and I like to use bowtie pasta instead of elbows. It just makes for a pretty presentation if I'm serving it to guests or at a potluck, but really any kind of pasta is great for this salad. I have also been known to toss in a few thin strips of jarred pimientos for color and a little briny flavor." — Jerrilynn View Recipe 07 of 16 Best Ever Tuna Salad "Excellent recipe that I have used time and time again since I found it." — Blakstarn View Recipe 08 of 16 Tuna Salad with Eggs and Pickles "My entire family truly enjoyed eating this dish and everyone rated it a "5." I will definitely make this dish again and again as this was mighty tasty." — Peggy View Recipe 09 of 16 Virgina's Tuna Salad cookin'mama "This was an excellent tuna salad recipe. I added chopped onions to mine and it came out yummy! Thanks so much!" — Tonya View Recipe 10 of 16 Mediterranean Tuna Salad Mareefer09 "OMG... This was soooo good! This is my first review as I normally don't do them! I made it exactly as described. You could eat it with salad, wraps, toast, sandwich, lettuce wraps or straight up as I did! Thank you to who ever posted it!" — Brianm96754 View Recipe 11 of 16 No-Mayo Mediterranean Tuna Salad "I quite enjoyed this tuna salad; definitely a step up from the usual varieties! The hummus was a great addition (I used lemon hummus) and I loved the saltiness from the olives (I used Kalamata). I served this over lettuce leaves for a lower-carb option." — France C View Recipe 12 of 16 Italian-Style Tuna Salad dotdash meredith food studios "This recipe is very good! It satisfies especially by adding a bit more protein with the egg like in the picture. I personally made it for two and added a bit more of the red wine vinegar which I like. I however, used the full can of tuna. For a light dinner or lunch this is fantastic." — Plates4u View Recipe 13 of 16 Chickpea Tuna Salad Chef Mo "I loved the ingredients but wanted to put this into an ancient grain wrap. So I ran the chickpeas through a food processor to break them down a bit. Simply delicious. The lime makes it." — Maria's Kitchen View Recipe 14 of 16 Zesty Tuna Salad cookin'mama "I made this again for lunch today and it was delicious! I added a little garlic powder and increased the mayo. Serve it on toast or with a garden salad inside a hollowed out tomato or red pepper and it's a lite lunch." — Jillian View Recipe 15 of 16 Carrie's Garlic Pesto Tuna Salad Sandwiches "So good! I am glad I found this recipe as I was looking to use up leftover pesto that I had made in something that didn’t involve pasta. I also substituted garlic powder and left out the mustard. I will definitely be making this again!" — Elyshia Reis View Recipe 16 of 16 Tuna Salad with Cranberries Tammy Lynn "This is wonderful! Now I will always have cranberries stocked so I can make these sandwiches." — Fushigina_tenkousei View Recipe More Inspiration 15 Beautiful Bento Box Lunches 38 Quick Lunch Ideas You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less 6 Ways You’re Storing Canned Tuna Wrong (and What to Do Instead) Was this page helpful?
