    Delicious quick and easy tuna salad

    Tuna salad is comfort food at its best. At its most basic level, it’s a combination of canned tuna and mayonnaise. There are a lot of variations on that basic mixture. My favorite variation adds celery and sweet pickle relish. This produces a delicious treat that’s quick and easy to make.

    Making the Tuna Salad

    When I make this delicious salad, I tend to use four 5-ounce cans of tuna packed in water. First, I drain as much water as I can from each of the cans. Then, I add chopped celery, sweet pickle relish, and mayonnaise.

    Next, I stir the ingredients together to make sure that they are well combined. Finally, I chill the salad in the refrigerator.

    The Master Taster and I like the this on toast, on crackers, or on a bed of lettuce. However we serve the tuna salad, it’s comfort food at its best. Yum!
