Keeping Tuna Salad from Being Dry

RE: Keeping Tuna Salad from Being Dry By badwater (751) Contact Tuna, Miracle Whip (to get it to the right consistency), chopped boiled eggs, chopped onion (optional), black pepper, chopped dill pickles, some canned sweet green peas (drained, optional). I've had many compliments on my tuna salad. Can serve it on various breads, crackers or on a lettuce leaf, or over the top of a salad. We like tuna salad year around, but especially in the hot Summer months. It keeps well in the fridge, if kept covered.

Posted on 12/26/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Tuna Salad from Being Dry By mirador (29) Contact Some of these tuna recipes sound great! Mine (my mom's) was always very simple - canned tuna, Miracle Whip, and celery diced small. Nothing else. (ESPECIALLY no onions! I've had restaurant tuna salad with onions and in my opinion they totally overpower the taste.) I think that sometimes restaurants go a little heavier on the mayo and lighter on the tuna (for economic reasons, to stretch the salad), so maybe just try using a little bit more mayo or Miracle Whip. Bon appetit!

But I only buy solid white Albacore tuna. I have found that there's a big difference in taste and appearance. Good luck with your search - if you find that perfect recipe, I would love to have a copy. Maybe you could post it?

Tuna, sweet relish and mayo. I do not use eggs. I add a quick squeeze of lemon juice to mine. It really enhances the flavor and keeps the tuna moist! Good Luck! Christine Posted on 12/22/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Tuna Salad from Being Dry By Guest (Guest Post) I put tuna, pepper, salt, celery, onion, mayonnaise, cooked pasta and lots of oil. Key ingredient to prevent dryness is oil and not olive oil. Never dry and stays moist stored in the fridge. Now I want some.

Maybe some pickle juice too! Posted on 12/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Tuna Salad from Being Dry By Tamisuemcp (33) Profile Blog! Contact I like a little chopped onion in mine, too. But maybe instead of the sugar a little sweet pickle relish might help?

Eggs absorb a lot of moisture and anything containing them should be eaten right away so it won't be dry. Posted on 12/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
