Yes...eggs! I can't even eat and enjoy tuna salad without the eggs. It just adds an layer to the flavor that I can't do without. I didn't even realize tuna salad was so popular without eggs.

[@gageguy]

I've been searching tuna salad and this is one of the best vids I've seen. Kudos to Kellie. (first time seeing her, she's not over the top or anything. Down to earth). Making this tomorrow.

Hi Alida! The canister set is vintage, it was my mother in law's. Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@E.Nicole]

Okay, I love this and I’ll have to try this recipe. I modeled my recipe after Jimmy John’s. So I use: cilantro, red onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, green and black olives, avocado, lemon or lime juice, and black pepper. I add Mayo, mustard, and dice a pickle up for my relish.

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

Oh my, Ebonee.....that sounds amazing and I’m def going to have to give that a try!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@helensoon4842]

Iu7

[@carolinems.2411]

Ebonee do you use fresh or pickled jalapeños? I like the the sound of your tuna salad and Kellies too. Perfect for hot summer days.

[@E.Nicole]

@@carolinems.2411 Depends on what I have on hand. I’ve used both. I honestly prefer the picked because of the tangy kick and it pairs well with the mustard. I love tangy and spicy.

[@joemcnamara6230]

That sounds really good. I love all those ingredients. Will be making it

[@lindaguida4074]

Just like mine!

[@dresser6135]

I don't generally put carrots in my tuna salad. Looks fine though. No onion in my tuna salad though!

[@angelamartin2811]

I’m always curious how others make tuna salad. I been making mine the same way for the past 40 years I use a couple of the tuna pouches in water I add chopped celery, onion, pickle relish, mayo, little mustard. S & P Toast some Italian bread add some lettuce and my tuna salad - Tastes good 👍

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

That sounds so good!

[@williambr88]

Breadcrumbs and hot pepper spread are also great to incorporate in tuna salad.

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Sean-lc7nw]

First of all I love your blue eyes. ...Secondly that salad looks amazing... Thanks

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

Thank you!

[@suzannahdarcy6903]

The tuna salad I developed over the years adds finely chopped celery, mayo, capers and horseradish. It's delicious. I'm going to try adding some grated carrot

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

Sounds great!

[@leroyrussell8766]

I would have to add hard boiled eggs to enjoy this. I must have hard boiled eggs to enjoy tuna salad.

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

That's a request of many other people, as well. You can add whatever you want to your tuna salad!

[@patriciahall2223]

Sounds delicious, I will definitely be making this , love tuna salad Thank you 🇨🇦

Hope you enjoy

[@steffl8562]

wow looks good. I just made tuna sandwich for dinner to night and i sliced, cucumbers, tomatoes and shredded lettuce on top of my sandwich. Man you can put what ever u like. But just trying slicing thin cucumbers on your sandwich. Biting into the cucumber on a tuna sandwich is so good. Yours sandwich looks great too Kellie. Have a bless day lady. By the way you are so pretty and I love your Kitchen. I'm in Alaska and i love cooking.

Sweet relish got to add

[@bhenchordsingh5028]

I love your tuna box

[@susanberg2774]

I grate everything! So easy ! Peel the outer layer of your celery first then chop, so you don’t have strings! Also use shallots or leeks instead of onions! Capers are awesome! If you find creme fraiche use it , much better than mayonnaise . Also cucumber is fabulous on top tuna salad! The best!

[@danielfronc4304]

Great idea to ger the strings out of the celery!

[@TheSuburbanSoapbox]

Sounds great!

[@selfcareover40-ed2td]

here in the UK, Hadfields sandwiches are very popular. It's a big tea cake (bread bun) with butter, it's filled with tuna mayo, cucumber, lettuce, white onion rings, tomatoes, sliced eggs, sliced pickled beets, salad cream drizzled on top. Walkers cheese and onion crisps (potato chips) stuffed into the sandwich tastes amazing too

You might try a pull chopper like the small Tupperware one. It almost makes it paste if you go to far but 2 or 3 pulls makes a lovelt fine chop.

I like to put a cup of finely chopped apples in my tuna salad. Also a tablespoon of sugar and some finely chopped walnuts. I caught 55 lbs. of tuna while fishing off the North Carolina coast.
