I spent my birthday this year with my LA "family".
My best friend J's mom (aka "nana") makes the best tuna salad I have ever eaten. It doesn't taste fishy or too mayonnaise-y. I beg her to make it every time I'm in town.
For my birthday, nana made a batch of tuna salad - just for me!!! This is the special kind of birthday gift that you can only get from someone who loves you and knows you so well!! Nana made my birthday tuna with all the extras that I like (cuz J likes it plain). It was delicious!!!! She was kind enough to include a copy of the recipe in my birthday card - so I don't have to wait an entire year to enjoy it again!!
Love you nana!!!
Nana's Tuna Recipe
- 4 small cans of solid albacore tuna in water, rinsed and drained well
- 8 hard boiled eggs (you may use the whole egg or just the egg whites)
- 4 stalks of celery diced
- 1 medium red onion diced
- sweet pickle relish including some juice to taste (approx one cup)
- Mayonanaise to just make moist
Mash tuna and eggs well. Add remaining vegetables and mix with mayo.
Refrigerate and enjoy!
