TUNA SALAD (BETTY CROCKER?)



Tuna Salad (Betty Crocker?) image

This is the tuna salad recipe I've had on a post-it note for ages.I think it came from a BC cookbook. I did a cursory search and couldn't find one with these ingredients. I make 4-6x the recipe as an appetizer, and we occasionally have leftovers for a sandwich or two the next day. I chop my veggies very finely so that it works as a salad and as a sandwich builder. Also, when I double (or more) the recipe, I use half tuna in water and half tuna in oil for more flavor.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces tuna
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup scallion, finely diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, hard boiled, finely diced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish or 2 tablespoons bell peppers, finely diced

Steps:

  • Combine the first 5 ingredients.
  • Add eggs.
  • (a quick way to chop - use an egg slicer 3 times: after the first time, rotate the egg horizontally, like the hand of a clock, after the second, rotate around its axis, like turning a door knob).
  • Add enough mayo for a barely - moist salad (the veggies and tuna will give off liquid, so add a little less than you think you'll need).
  • Add relish/bell pepper.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Refrigerate several hours for flavors to meld.

TUNA MACARONI SALAD



Tuna Macaroni Salad image

This is our version of an old Betty Crocker recipe. Again, since we are garlic freaks, we kicked up the garlic and tried other improvement. This is a great side dish or along. Great for potlucks.
