Tuna Fish Special

“THIS WAS my children's favorite salad when they were growing up. Whenever we would go on a picnic, they requested the 'tuna fish special'. The variety of flavors gives it a special taste everyone loves. No matter how many different tuna salad recipes I've tried, this one still tops our list! -Gerry Tressler, St. Petersburg, Florida”

Only used 1/2 the mayo called for and added pepper. Really liked this dish. Will make it again.

added black olives - sub. chow mein with spiral pasta, which is what I had in the computer. We all really liked it. A little different that traditional thats loaded with garlic. Will make again!

This was basically a suped up tuna salad, it was good, but I think that I am more of a just tuna, mayo, relish, and egg kind of girl.

A friend of mine made this and I literally begged for the recipe. This recipe is amazing! I use light mayo. to make it a little healthier. My 3 year old even gobbles it up! Of course we pretend the peas are eyeballs!! I don't put it on lettuce leaves although it makes a pretty display.

I rarely give a five star but this is the best tuna fish salad I have had. The combination didn't sound great but it works very well.

This salad was a delightful departure from the regular tuna salad. I doubled the curry on the advice of another reviewer. Also, I added some black pepper. I served on a lettuce leaf as suggested and we ended up rolling up the salad in the lettuce leaf and ate it like a wrap. One thing I would change, though, is that I thought the salad had too many peas and not enough celery. I would change the amounts next time.

Excellent dish. Family really enjoyed it, especially my husband. Things I did different (what I had in pantry), used spaghetti instead of chow mein, and no almonds. Definitely a staple in my recipe book. Thanks for submitting it!
