Drop dead delicious? Nah. The lemon is a good idea since it brightens it up. I used hellmans mayo and added it to the right consistency and it was definitely not 2 cups. I tasted it after I made it and it needed salt and pepper at least. Like I said the lemon is a great addition to tuna and it gives it a change but the rest of the recipe is eh at best.

2 cups of mayo? Disgusting. I use ~2 tablespoons mayo per can of tuna - 1/4 of the amount called for in this recipe - and it is plenty. Using relish makes tuna salad moist without the need for as much mayo especially if you add extra relish.

I thought it called for a little bit too much mayo, but other than that it was delicious!

It was REALLY runny. I think 2 cups of mayo is far too much.

Delicious!! Very creamy with all the mayo, maybe because I increased the ratio to 12 servings. Having read other posters, I cut down may by 1/5, but still too creamy so I added 1 plus 1/2 more cans of tuna. Still had a pocket of juice on top when I served it to my group, but everyone loved the taste. I'll definitely use this at home, but don't know if I'd bring it to a gathering again.

I've never added lemon juice to my tuna fish before. It had a nice flavor to it. I didn't add the celery; was more in a hurry to have something easy to eat. I do, however, add celery usually to my tuna fish. I've always liked adding the sweet pickle relish but my husband doesn't care for it, so I only add it to mine. Beware - 2 C of mayo is way out of line! That would really make it soupy.

I don't know if I'd refer to this as "drop dead delicious" as we are talking about tuna salad here. I cut this down to one serving and while I do love tuna salad this recipe is very basic and a good start to add in whatever other favorite ingredients you like. I always like to add a bit of garlic and onion powders plus a bit of salt and pepper. As far as the amount of mayo is concerned, I always add that to my own tastes. Some people like a dry tuna salad others like more mayo than tuna it seems. Whatever your preference you can give this one a try...

Just a note to all, if you have too much mayo or salad dressing in it for your liking, try crushing up some saltine crackers. They are wonderful in tuna salad.
