This is a four star with the addition of an extra can of tuna and generous application of red wine vinegar - otherwise it was a bit bland

I omitted the celery due to taste. When I was eating, I found it too be a bit too cold for my tastes, and also thought it needed a little something. I added some shredded cheddar cheese and warmed it up in the microwave. A yummy, healthy lunch.

I didn't have cauliflower so I used carrots. Chopping all the veggies finely as mentioned turns the salad into a colorful spread. Following some reviewers suggestions I added garlic powder, dill (I used pickle juice), and pepper. This salad could easily carry many combinations of flavors.

The recipe called for a little too much veggies, so I halved the broccoli and cauliflower. I also used Barbie's Tuna Salad as a base(halved the mayo). The addition of the veggies really helps with the crunchiness of the salad & doubles the amount of tuna salad.

very good. extremely hearty. it's a great way to add those needed veggies. i placed ours on whole wheat pita bread and served with tomatoes. a very good meal. unfortunately, we had used our last red onion the night before, so i can't wait to try it again with all the ingredients.

I've been making this recipe for 20 years. It has always been a favorite. I often eliminate the celery. I've also used other onions rather than red in a pinch (red is mostly for color). These days I use low-fat mayo rather than fat free. South Beach diet has changed my ways...the fat free just adds carbs.

Mmmm! This was a great twist on tuna salad. And so healthy to boot! I also used a little bit less broccoli/cauliflower than it called for. I used fat free mayo. The only thing this lacked was a little bit of flavor - I sprinkled in some dill, garlic powder & sea salt and a little bit of red wine vinegar. I just ate it straight from the bowl!

Yum! Good recipe. It had a lot of body and flavor to it, but it met with my mom's approval too and she's on a diet. I will make this again ... and I'm glad to have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch!

I made this with canned chicken, and then followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious! It makes A LOT, so like the other poster, I would recommend halving the recipe. It's a great thing to make on a Sunday afternoon for a few lunches during the week. I'll definitely be making this often.

This is very good, and healthy too! I didn't have any cauliflower but next time will add it. I used half FF mayo and half plain yogurt. It needed a little more taste so I sprinkled garlic salt and pepper on it. If you're watching your sodium intake, use some lemon juice. I diced up a left over tomato...and it gave it brightened it up! Pimentoes would work too. I didn't have any macaroni, so I used the small seashell pasta. Looked almost too pretty to eat! This makes A LOT...so I halved the recipe...and it's still a lot. Enjoyed....and thanks for your recipe!

I made this recipe as written, and I think it's a little heavy on the vegetables. It was hard to find the tuna in the finished product. Next time I'm going to try using half the listed amount of veggies, and experiment with various spices. Nice and healthy though - thanks!

Very good! I couldn't find low fat mayo so I used Miracle Whip Light instead. I added a few more veggies also. A really good tuna salad!

I'm a tuna freak, so I'm always looking for new ways to make this traditional salad. This was really great and I also added some chopped english cucumber, plus my usual garlic and onion powders and black pepper. I just used my good ole' rich in everything Hellmans. Terrific recipe and thanks!
