Um, wow! No, really......wow! Cottage cheese as a base in tuna salad? Never would have thought of that. I did run my cottage cheese through my tiny food processor before adding it to the mix only because I knew it wouldn't have made it past my husband if I hadn't. I made it a little more "us" with some garlic powder/onion powder/dried dill weed/fresh ground pepper and a dash or two of Frank's hot sauce as well as a couple of garlic dills that I chopped. Because I do not have celery salt on it's own, I used Beau Monde seasoning. Very, very good. We all thought this was just mighty tasty AND it was great for using up half of a container of cottage cheese. NOTE: I did use "trim" cottage cheese and reduced fat mayonnaise.

Great way to make a small can of tuna go a long way. I don't think this will be my go to recipe for tuna salad but definitely a nice change from regular old tuna. I substituted garlic salt for celery salt.

Very odd but very good recipe! Thank you. I will add a bit less onion from now on since they kind of took over..but other than that I wouldn't change a thing!

Not bad. I really like the lemony taste! That plus the cottage cheese and egg give a nice twist on tuna salad. I used regular onions because I didn't have any green ones.

We really love this recipe and make it often. Sometimes we substitute hummous for the mayonnaise, which is very different, but still good.

I've been making this recipe for a couple of years now. I hate eggs so I leave them out and I don't keep cottage cheese in the frig so that is almost always left out. I love the lemon taste so I usually boost the juice and lemon pepper up a bit. I don't eat any seafood other than this recipe. Hubby really likes it too!
