    Default Tuna on a Shoestring

    Been years since I made this, but a grandchild wandered in unannounced recently, so I slipped to the store and he got this. He liked it.

    2 cans solid white tuna
    1 cup diced celery
    1 cup (or less) mayo
    Salt & pepper
    1 cup coarse shredded carrots
    1/4 cup diced onion
    Mix all. Just before serving add dry shoestring potatoes.

    Is this a salad? or do you cook it? Sounds like if would be good either way.

    Oh, I love tuna for summer meals! This sounds good. I also take a can of crushed pineapple, drained, and about a 1/2 box of macaroni, cooked, with the ingredients above (except potatoes) for a great tuna summer "casserole."

    That brings back memories. I haven't had a tuna fish sandwich in ages. I grew up on almost that same recipe, minus the potoato sticks. But add a huge slice of tomato hot from the garden sunshine.

    We eat Alborcore tuna several times a week. My grands think tuna mixed with mayo is a dip.

    My favorite tuna salad recipe uses Granny Smith apples and very little mayonnaise. Add about 1/2 of an apple to a can of tuna. You can decide on the proportions you like. The moisture from the apple means you only need to add 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Add some dill, a little green onion, and a splash or two or three of hot sauce (I use Texas Pete).
