Indigo's Ridiculously Good Tuna (Salad!)
"My obsession with tuna really started at Tealuxe, the nummiest teahouse in Boston! This is my own special recipe; I really think the flavors are strong and the texture is satisfying. *Please note, the amount of mayo could be much more or less to taste, I really just throw in as much creaminess as I feel for at the time...
You can eat it alone, in a pita, or like a tuna melt, it is too good!"

We love the horseradish in this. I used red onion, and subbed a few drops of Cajun Sunshine hot sauce for the cayenne. Thanks for posting! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag. -
Good! The only real difference between my tuna and this one is the horseradish. Made as written using only 2 tablespoons mayo and the 3 teaspoons dill option. Stuffed in a large tomato to make a nice light lunch. Thanks for the post. -
YUM! I made this tonight and my only adjustments were 1/2 tsp of cayenne and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Also a few GOOD shakes of dill:) This was a great tuna salad that will go on rotation at my house. Even my 6 yr old liked it!! Thanks:) -
This was really good! As I only had 2-5 oz. cans of tuna, I cut back a little bit on the seasonings. I did not have dill pickle relish, so I finely chopped a medium pickle and threw that in. I also used fat free Miracle Whip in place of the mayonnaise, and just a dash of ground black pepper (I think that a whole teaspoon might have been too much). I added only a tsp. of dill, because I think the dill pickle adds enough flavour. Thanks for helping me jazz up my own boring tuna salad! -
Nice change on the typical tuna salad. I liked the extra spiciness provided by both the horseradish sauce and the cayenne (though I wimped out and used just a dash of cayenne).

For now, I am a student in Boston, not quite trying to make ends meet, but certainly trying my luck in the kitchen now that I have one all to my very own! I loooooove spicy food and have nostalgia for many foods that I can't quite put my finger on or track down! I think being a chef is my second calling (writing being my first!)
