    Way too much mayo!!! - 11/7/09

    I viewed the full nutritional breakdown of this recipe and it had 3 Tblsp Mayonnaise not 3/4 cup so I think that sounds more doable. I definately will try this as tuna is of my favorites. Also, the nutritional value really is great. - 11/9/09

    I make a similar salad but skip the eggs and relish, add shredded carrots, diced cherry tomatoes, and dill weed. I prefer kraft light mayo - 11/7/09

    sounds yummy.....I like to eat my tuna sandwiches rolled into lettuce leaves as though they were pieces of bread. Try it you may like it. - 11/8/09
  • JAZYGIRL
    I've always made my tuna this way. Really good stuff. - 11/7/09
  • ERMOTH
    Very yummy! I think this amount could make 5 to 6 sandwiches. - 4/16/07

    FYI: The full nutritional information is per serving, and there are 4 servings, so that would be 12 tbls of mayo, which is 3/4 cup. - 5/3/10
  • CWRISTON1
    You sure its not meant to say 3-4 tsps of mayo? the relish and veggies will make up for any dryness. I agree with lots of readers - WAY TOO MUCH MAYO! - 11/9/09

    similar to my tuna salad, much less mayo, use lite, use dijon mustard to taste and green onions also use packed tuna. Omit the eggs. One of my favorite sandwichs. - 11/8/09
  • RUTHXG
    Mine is similar, but I skip the mayo altogether & use fat-free sour cream + a bit of mustard, which makes it very flavorful, along with some dill weed (fresh or dried). I would use chives instead of onions, for a better balance of flavors. - 11/7/09

    Tasty recipe. - 4/23/19
  • AMAZINGALEXIS
    Added a bit more seasonings and a sprinkle of sugar but it was pretty good! I suggest adding less mayo if you don't like a really creamy consistency. It was a bit too much for my taste. - 1/6/17

    3/4 cups Miracle Whip (more or less to taste)

    Some people like more mayo...some less....I prefer more...great recipe, taste great, added a little bit more spices (Mr's. Dash). - 5/17/12
  • MIMAWELIZABETH
    I make a similar version - no peppers or eggs - but use only 3T Best Foods light mayo, just enough to get it to stick together. DELISH with bread, veggies, whatever! - 1/8/12

  • CD6271782
    Delicious! I added jalapeno and cayenne. Didn't use all that mayo; just until I thought it looked moist enough! - 4/17/11
  • JOANOFSPARK
    yummy..I like this recipe. clear, concise....and easy to follow. every time I make tuna salad, it is different and tonight, we are adding olives to it as well. actually, we are putting the extra options in a separate bowl so each one can just add what they want to it. - 7/20/10
