One of my favorite things is mayo. Seriously. I could and can eat it by the spoonful. Because I love mayo, I’m always making foods that require it as an ingredient. Mr. Bejelly did not like tuna fish and no matter how much I tried to convince he would like it, it wasn’t he saw Little tear through it like he was in a berry patch (my son loves berries) that he took his first bite. Anyhow, he was making every kind face because I put eggs in my tuna. You would think I had broke some sacred tuna fish law the way he was going on about it.
I soldiered on because I have eaten it this way my entire life (and after he took a bite and kept eating I figured it was all good). This recipe is super easy. I love that it’s fast and filling.You can also swap the tuna out for something like lobster if you want to be more creative. If you’re struggling to find lobster, you can get some online from Maine Lobster Now.
For the bread, I cheated and bought a box of Chebe Focaccia mix

I don’t love tuna, but your recipe still looks good!
It looks delicious, although I am not a fan of mayo.
I like mayo, but am excruciatingly fussy about tuna & will only buy good jarred tuna slices. The cheapest I’ve found (that my fussy butt will eat) is $7 a jar, so it isn’t going in mayo 😛
Aw, come on now Robin 🙂 It is so true that the quality of tuna affects the taste. I buy an expensive can of tuna because I can’t stand the taste of some of the lesser brands.
Sacred tuna fish law. LOL. I’m kind of like that about potato salad.
Oh my gosh that looks so good! I love tuna (and I love your red colander)
Thanks I just found it at Marshall’s lol.
I love tuna salad. Make me want some now…
I love tuna salad and so do my kids! I look forward to trying this recipe over the summer.
Now this is interesting because I despise mayo as much as you love it! That means I can’t eat things like this because I have yet to find a good substitute.
This is how I make mine, except I use a little less mayo and a little more mustard. 🙂 I’ve always made it (so did my Mom) with hard boiled eggs in it.
Interesting, I’ve never heard of eggs in tuna salad before. I usually make mine with Miracle Whip, I like that zing to it.
My tuna salad has never looked this good!
I love egg and onion in mine, and sometimes I’ll sneak in some sweet pickle relish – no HFCS stuff!
We love tuna salad here. It’s so easy to make and so tasty. I am with you I love me some mayo.
This is just beautiful. I’m sure it tastes just as good, but your photos of your recipes are so pretty!
Looks very tasty!
This looks really good!
Yum, this looks delicious!
My husband would love this. Tuna salad is his fave! I, on the other hand, am not a fan of tuna.
That looks delicious. I needed a tuna salad recipe. Thanks for sharing yours.
I was just looking at your recipes and saw this yummy one. I won’t need to copy it as this is the way I make my tuna as well! I do add chopped up sweet pickles (sugar-free) occasionally. I either eat it as is, wrapped in lettuce or piled on top of shredded lettuce.
Yum! Now I have to make tuna fish today 🙂 Thanks for your comment Kathy
