How to Make Tuna Salad

Tuna salad is a frugal meal item made either from a canned tuna or leftover grilled tuna. Knowing how to make the popular salad sandwich spread allows a hostess to offer tuna items on the buffet bar or serve them for family lunches or dinner.





Tuna salad isn't just a sandwich filling; it can be served with crackers or pita bread for a quick and easy appetizer, or top a plate of salad greens for a quick and healthy lunch.
If you find the basic tuna-and-mayo combo a bit bland, you can always try spicing it up with a a dollop of pesto, some chopped onion, olives, capers, or pickles. If you have them on hand, dried or fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, rosemary, fennel or tarragon can add some sophistication to a basic tuna salad. If more texture is what you're after, consider adding some crunch with diced apple or celery
