Pickle relish in your tuna!? Gonna have to try that..👍
You have to try it, it's great! I'm surprised you never had it this way. Seriously, I thought everyone made it with relish. Really good.
I've been making tuna the same way my momma made it, salt, pepper, celery and mayo.
That's a classic recipe too. I like it with diced onions too, no relish.

I always enjoy reading what you have to say. One of these days there is going to be a knock at your door..
Mrs Cat and I say the same thing. Maybe someday!!
I'm just waiting for my kids to be old enough to appreciate a trip somewhere especially New Orleans, I planning on next summer.

I can do diced onions... in the summer she would make tuna macaroni salad and plop it on a platter with iceberg lettuce and sliced boiled eggs.

I would love to have a nice tuna salad sandwich, but I'd want mine on rye. Call me crazy.
I like good rye bread myself, but since my wife doesn't it's rarely bought. We were at Publix this morning where I spotted the Nan in the display of flat breads. Since neither of us had ever had it a pack of 2 large pieces was bought. The tuna salad was homemade from packaged tuna, pickle relish, a boiled egg and finely chopped onion with mayo & black pepper. It were good!

Anything to cover up the taste of the Tuna :!: :lol:

The only place I can get a decent tuna sandwich in New Orleans is at Panera on North Carrolton Avenue. Sometimes Sarah will order it on the Panera app on her phone and I'll walk over to pick up. She pays and I do the legwork. We share the sandwich 50/50.

Nobody in New Orleans even knows what a tuna melt is! I wish they did but it's all crab and oysters hereabouts. I'm not complaining.

I had fried chicken and collards with the Cursillo group from church today.

I ate lunch at a harborside Greek restaurant with an old friend. My lunch was a salad called 'California Greek' which was a typical Greek salad, but with marinated grilled chicken and avocado added to it. Delicious.

As far as tuna salad goes, I'm also in the relish camp; has to be dill pickle relish, though. But I use the sweet for my egg salad.
