Maybe I've only had bad, bland tuna salad in the past, but I've never cared much for it. I've been trying to eat healthier lately, so a couple weeks ago I found myself glaring at unused cans of tuna in my pantry, trying to think of a bearable way to eat them, somehow. I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com ("Barbie's Tuna Salad"). It's a recipe originally from a caterer who serves it as an appetizer with gourmet crackers. I made sandwiches. It was so good, my kids gobbled it up--no complaints--and I ate it straight out of a bowl, no bread needed. It was that good! This changed my mind about tuna salad (and sweet relish) forever. I'm surprised to be actually looking forward to eating it again tonight. I didn't have any parmesan cheese on hand; still excellent! Let me know if this changes your mind about eating tuna salad, too. :)
Best Tuna Salad
3 cans (5 oz) White Tuna, drained and flaked
1/4 c. mayonnaise -- or as little or much as you prefer
1 T. parmesan cheese
3 T. sweet pickle relish
1 stick of celery, minced (optional--not called for in original recipe, but I like some crunch)
1/8 t. dried onion or onion powder
1/4 t. curry . . . trust me . . .
1 T. dried parsley
1 t. dried dill
1 pinch garlic powder
Stir together the tuna, mayo, parmesan cheese, relish, onion, and celery. Season with remaining ingredients. Mix well, and serve with crackers or on a sandwich. Makes 3-4 regular-sized sandwiches.

That looks delicious Sara. Can't wait to try it! My kids already like tuna but I don't usually get too excited about it. Curry- very intriguing. :)
