CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME

This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

APPLE PECAN TUNA SALAD

I grew up eating tuna salad made with sour pickles, onions, and mayonnaise. When I married, my m-in-law made a delicious tuna salad with apples as one of the main ingredients. I LOVED it and began to use that recipe. My husband likes pecans (Texas' state nut) in everything, so I always add a handful, but they are optional. It's better to begin with the chopped apple so you can sprinkle lemon juice over the pieces to keep them from turning brown. I also prefer unpeeled apples. I am saying this makes 6 servings because we like THIN sandwiches. I also sometimes make my sandwich ingredients the night before because allowing to set a while makes the flavors blend.

Apple Pecan Tuna Salad image

Steps:

  • Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
  • Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
  • Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
  • Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More "pastey" texture is better for sandwiches.
  • Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).

1 small granny smith apple, unpeeled cored and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or however much needed to coat apple pieces)
1 (5 ounce) can tuna fish, drained (do not use foil packaged, too fishy)
2 celery ribs, cleaned and chopped
1 tablespoon onion, grated (sweet kind is best)
5 tablespoons mayonnaise (we like the flavor and texture of "Real" better than "Lite")
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 pinch sugar, to taste
1 pinch salt, to taste
12 slices whole wheat bread, sandwich sliced
