Barbie's Tuna Salad Recipe

I was on the hunt for a new tuna salad recipe that veered away from the traditional ones. I decided to double this recipe and found the flavor to be decent, but with the potential to be outstanding with a few tweaks. I suggest reducing the amount of relish and parsley, and adding more cheese for a bolder taste. I opted for fresh onion instead of dried minced onion, using around 2 tablespoons to enhance the flavor. I will definitely make this again, making the adjustments I mentioned. And don't hesitate to use curry – it truly elevates the dish!

I wanted to add my own touch to this delicious salad! I decided to use just 1 tablespoon of lite Miracle Whip for some moisture, and The Pampered Chef Dill seasoning mix for the dill and garlic flavors. It was the perfect low-fat adjustment I needed to incorporate more healthy tuna into my diet. Thank you so much!

Extremely delicious! Personally, I like to halve the amount of pickle relish, but the original recipe is fantastic as well. I also decreased the mayo by at least 25% and still found it to be perfectly creamy. However, you really can't go wrong with this recipe. I like to thoroughly blend all the spices into the mayo before adding the tuna - it helps ensure an even distribution of flavors.

This recipe is amazing! It has been my favorite tuna recipe for over 10 years. I always double the curry, add plenty of garlic powder to taste, and often skip the mayo.

This recipe was a delightful surprise! I never would have imagined combining curry and parmesan in a tuna salad, but the flavors worked beautifully together. Next time, I might experiment with dill relish and a hard-boiled egg, but as it is, this recipe is a definite winner!

The first time I tried this recipe, I followed it exactly as it was written. However, the curry was too overpowering for my husband's taste. I decided to make some adjustments by eliminating the curry, reducing the parmesan to just 1/4 tsp, and adding fresh chopped onions and celery instead. Now, it is absolutely perfect for us.

I have made this recipe twice in the past two days! The flavors are fantastic. Following others' advice, I reduced the amount of relish, and I also cut the mayo in half since I prefer a less saucy texture. I included hard-boiled egg and celery in my version, and I've been enjoying it with crackers.

My husband absolutely adores this tuna salad recipe, and it's the one and only version I prepare. I strictly use Miracle Whip due to my personal preference, with just 4 tablespoons as we like it that way. Apart from these adjustments, we stick to the original recipe. Despite my initial skepticism about the parmesan and curry, I must admit they truly enhance the flavor. This recipe has become a staple in our fridge. Thank you for sharing it!

We absolutely adored this recipe! Taking inspiration from fellow reviewers, I opted for red onion instead of dried onion and included celery ribs for an extra crunch. I used two 5oz cans of tuna and made sure to drain the pickle relish to prevent it from adding excess moisture.

I have been making this tuna recipe for years now and it's become a family favorite. My kids (ages 5, 6, 8, and 10) absolutely love it, as does my husband and I. I've made some adjustments to suit my personal taste over time, such as using homemade mayo, minced dill pickles instead of relish, adding turmeric for its health benefits, and a dash of salt and pepper. While I enjoy the Parmesan, I leave it out to keep the recipe Whole30 compliant. I also include hard-boiled eggs for extra lean protein. My kids find tuna with just mayo to be unappetizing and joke that other moms must not know how to cook like me. I always make a triple batch for my family of 6 and it disappears quickly. This tuna salad is delicious on crackers, in romaine lettuce boats, or spread on celery sticks for a healthier option. It's definitely a recipe worth keeping!

I used chopped onion and celery in this recipe. I only added 3 tablespoons of pickle relish and made sure to drain the juice before mixing it with mayonnaise. I also combined all the seasonings, relish, and cheese with the mayo before adding it to the tuna. I then chilled the mixture for a couple of hours before serving.

This recipe is absolutely fantastic! I tried it once and haven't turned back since. It's now my go-to tuna salad recipe - I always receive lots of compliments and requests for it. Thank you, Barbie!

It's my favorite choice. I prefer using canned salmon as a substitute for tuna.

This tuna salad has been our favorite choice for many years. I substitute mayo with Greek yogurt and add pickled red onions on top. Absolutely delicious!

I tried out this recipe and made a few adjustments since I used a 5 oz can of tuna. I reduced the mayo by half as I prefer less of it, only added 2 tablespoons of relish, and kept everything else the same. The addition of curry made this the most delicious tuna salad I've ever tasted. Next time, I might experiment with adding fresh onions to see how that changes the flavor.

This has been my go-to recipe for over 8 years now, and it's simply amazing as is. It's so easy to tweak if you're missing any ingredients. Recently, I tried using Chosen brand avocado mayo since that's all I had, and it took the dish to a whole new level. Sometimes I add extra curry or swap sweet relish for dill relish. The combination of flavors in this recipe creates the most delicious tuna dish I've ever had. Thank you for sharing this recipe. And remember, if you're not a fan of curry, you can always leave it out.

I substituted 2 teaspoons of minced red onion for onion flakes and paired it with Publix brown whole grain bread - absolutely delicious!

I was looking to add a new flavor to a classic dish, and this recipe was just what I was searching for.

Our favorite spot.

I would give this recipe a 4-star rating because it was surprisingly easy and fast to make. The combination of ingredients may seem unusual, but they surprisingly complement each other well. Who would have thought that curry and dill could work together, or that Parmesan and relish would make a tasty combination? I mostly followed the recipe but added some minced celery for a crunchy texture, used mayo instead of Miracle Whip, and doubled the amount of curry. I enjoyed this dish on toast, Sweet Hawaiian buns, and flour tortillas, with the latter being my favorite option. It also tasted great when served on a lettuce leaf. I might try it on crackers as the original submitter suggested. I would definitely make this recipe again, especially on hot summer days when I crave a light and fast meal. Thank you, TANAQUIL!
