Barbie's Tuna Salad

“This is a really great tuna salad recipe I got from a friend who used it in her catering service business many years ago. The secret ingredients are the curry and Parmesan cheese! Odd combinations but this makes a terrific tuna sandwich! She used it for an appetizer with gourmet crackers and people always wanted her recipe. I have never tasted another tuna salad quite like this one and it has been my favorite recipe for tuna salad for many, many years.”

This was very flavorful and tasty. I served it on toasted multi-grain bread and it was delightful. But, be warned, the recipe calls for WAY too much mayonnaise. I had doubled the recipe, so I doubled erything else but only added about 50% more mayonnaise, and it still came out looking like it would be a mayonnaise sandwich. I had to add a third can of tuna to thicken it, yet it was still heavy on mayo. Use about 1/3 or less of what the recipe says.

I only used a 5 oz can of tuna so I pared down the ingredients. Honestly I didn't measure, just put everything that it called for in it. Ok, this tuna is so good! I will srrely make this again!!!

This was FANTASTIC! I think I might add some crushed walnuts next time for a little crunch.

This was soooo delicious! I did a few changes just because I was afraid of putting too much of certain ingredients. I used 2 cans tuna, 10 Tbsp mayo, 1/8tsp salt, 1/8tsp pepper, chopped finely some celery, and I kept the rest of the ingredients as listed (so i didn't double the rest of the ingredients)! It was perfect! Those 2 cans should fill about 6 hamburger buns.

Good and easy! I thought there was too much mayo in this recipe. My hint would be to drain the tuna, then add a TBSP of mayo at a time and mix. Stop when you think it's too runny.

My husband loves tuna fish sandwiches so I suggested he try this recipe. He loved it!! The combo of seasoning gives a unique taste. Next time we will use less dill weed - it was a very strong flavor in the mix. Thanks for sharing!!

My Mrs. thought it was going to be too weird with the curry. She's now a believer.

Actually, the tuna tasted very similar to Chick-Fil-A's chicken salad sandwich. I am suprised at how many 5 star ratings this recipe recieved. While the tuna IS flavorful, I'm not sure it's THE BEST flavor, worthy of 5 stars. It was ok and a nice change from a typical tuna salad, but I probably won't be making it this way again.

This was awesome! My husband was very skeptical of a new recipe but loved it. I but ranch salad dressing instead of mayo, and served it on a bagel (because we didn't have any bread or crackers)...I chopped up onion instead of the flakes. I liked it too, and I really don't care for tuna very much.

Great recipe. I always double the recipe because everybody in the house loves it so much. Even our 5 year old likes to load up his crackers with it and he hates fish. Thanks for this one!

This recipe is very good, I never would have considered some of these ingrediants for tuna salad. When first reading the recipe 6 tbsp of mayo sounded like a lot to me for one 7 oz can of tuna, so I made it with a 12 oz can of tuna and it was perfect, not to wet or too dry. I also left the other ingrediant amounts the same and it was delicious.

We all just love this recipe. I use it all the time. I definitely wouldn't call it bland and boring. I use multiple cans and increase the spices to taste.
