Tuna Salad:

Everyone makes tuna salad differently. Basic ingredients most people use are:

Mayo
onions (usually green, which I personally hate)
celery (its okay, but its bland and mostly used as "filler")

Its hard to go wrong with tuna salad, but I like to experiment with it a LOT, so here's a laundry list of the things Buffy recommends for your tuna salad for whatever recipe you use it in:

Mustards: all kinds, brown chinese, russian hot, grey pupon, german, etc, etc, etc.
Horseradish: mmmmm!
wasabi: If you've got a Trader Joe's check out their Wasabi Mayonnaise, its GOOD!
Hot sauce: any kind, green on up to the habanero bases....sprinkle with cayenne!
For the daring: crushed red pepper...or that chinese chile oil...
Fresh crushed garlic: but make sure you boy/girlfriend has some too if you expect to do any kissing afterward.
Pickle relish: lots of people use it but with the above stuff its actually *really* good!
Worcestershire Sauce! Really!
Teriyaki sauce!
Hoisin sauce! Sweeet!
Chopped fresh cabbage: a real twist for those that like that veggie filler.
Chopped radishes: much tastier than celery...
Seeds/nuts/etc.: sesame! walnuts! fried wontons (put in at the end and don't let them sit though: they get soggy!)

If you're from the midwest, you get dispensation to use Miracle Whip, but don't try to give me any.

Cheers,
Buffy
