Yield: 1 text file
I've frequently made an egg and tuna salad without mayo (NEVER made it with
Miracle Whip, as I can't stand the stuff).
Here's a rough guideline to go by (I tend to make tuna salad with
whatever's on hand, so it varies a LOT):
Drain a can of water-packed tuna, and dump into a bowl. Add a couple of
hardboiled eggs, chopped, maybe a half of a chopped green Bell pepper, half
a chopped red Bell pepper, a couple of green onions, finely minced, a rib
of celery, including a generous portion of leaves, finely minced, sometimes
a few chopped green or black olives. Moisten the mixture with either a good
oil and vinegar dressing, or a few tablespoons of your favorite fat-free
Italian dressing.
This makes a good filling for pita bread.
If you like, you can turn this into a dinner salad by adding cooked pasta
(rotini, elbow macaroni, whatever suits your fancy). I've also tossed in
chopped artichoke hearts on occasion (in which case, the marinade from the
artichokes, plus a little vinegar becomes the dressing.
If I want a really SERIOUS salad, I'll also toss in some thawed but
uncooked frozen mixed vegetables (the Italian-type mixes are particularly
good). Garnish with sliced cucumber, maybe some radish roses or whatever.
