I have been eating tuna since I was born. It got boring after awhile so I started putting all kinds of garbage in there. Few amatuer chefs take risks when it comes to tuna salad; instead they take the safe road and create a bland mass of tuna-mayo sludge which is inherently devoid of zip, tang, and pizzazz. I can show you a better way.
This is a salad we're talking about after all, dont be afraid to jam some o your favey munchables in there! My tuna salad is fresh, its fashionable, it rolls with the TIMES. its not afraid to CHANGE. YES it CAN change your lunchlife. Here is whats happenin' with T-Sal these days:
can o tuna - throw it in a bowl
mayo- get one oversized spoonful and glob it in there
relish- half of whatever the mayo was
mustard - dijon
peños - dice em up fine
salt
pepper
hot sauce ...dont be afraid to dump it in there its just not the same without
celery...à la the peños, grab your shit and whip it up!
you could get downright nasty with this stuff if you choose. I mean nasty as in nasty awesomeness of course.
tomatoes...toss the juice 'n dice up the firm stuff
bell peps...any color, dice 'n toss, crunch factor multiplier
more mustard...dash o spicy, spot of grey p.p. and probly you should use all your other mustards if you have them..be gentle! experiment with your own mustard ratios and develop your own personal mix!
seasonal salt...dash it in
papsmearika - dabble
at this point in the recipe i reccommend uppin the mayo by a splotch, if youre doin it right you should have an assload of stuff in there by now.
got a pot? boil an egg and slice that sucker in there.. let Egg give Tuna a run for its money! Mix e'erthing ya got and put it on some bread, taste it and weep. When Im feeling spicy I can whip up three sandwiches worth of this glorious stuff; just about enough to satiate my lunchtime cravings. The prep time is nothing; basically the hungrier you are the faster you'll whip your shit into some bomb toona goop that you can stuff down your stuff hole. I skipped the bread the other day and there was no silverware so i spooned it directly with a sauce ladle.
I comb my fridge daily for new shit to put in there. One of my favorite daily activities is attempting to soup up my salad to the point of taste blastoff. Be like me and use this salad recipe as a guiding hand to foster your own creative juices. Live in a world where tuna is exciting and ever changing. Apples? pears? cados? whatcha got in there?! throw it into the mix and live a little for christsakes.
