Categories     Tuna Salads

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) 9 1/4 oz. can tuna, packed in water (drained and flaked)
1 large apple, cored and chopped
1/3 c celery, chopped
1/3 c walnuts, chopped
1/3 c raisins, currants or chopped pitted dates
1/2 c plain nonfat yogurt (or lowfat)
1/4 c mayonnaise
large lettuce leaves
1/2 c shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese (2 ounces)

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, apple, celery, walnuts and raisins; set aside.
  • 2. In a small bowl combine yogurt and mayonnaise. Add to tuna-fruit mixture; toss gently. Cover, chill before serving.
  • 3. To serve, line 4 salad plates with lettuce leaves. Sprinkle cheese over lettuce. Spoon tuna-fruit mixture on top of cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. When choosing tuna, look for canned tuna that is packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as it will make the salad too oily.
  • Chop the vegetables and apple into small, even pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad and make it easier to eat.
  • Add the mayonnaise and seasonings to taste. Start by adding a small amount of mayonnaise and then add more, as needed, until the salad reaches the desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much mayonnaise, as it can make the salad too heavy.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Waldorf tuna salad can be served immediately after it is made, or it can be chilled in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to stir it well before serving.

Conclusion:

Waldorf tuna salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is made with simple, everyday ingredients and can be customized to suit your own taste. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, Waldorf tuna salad is a delicious and satisfying meal.
