Italian Tuna Salad

"This is so good, and it's much lower in fat than regular tuna salad. I saw a few versions of this, but this one is a bit different. I don't use as much red onion, usually about 1/2 the amount called for, but I posted it in its original amounts."

  1. Everyone enjoyed this except DH, who doesn't like olives so he doesn't count anyway. I substituted ordinary, chunk light tuna and had to use dried basil but even so the flavor was wonderful. I used my homemade Italian dressing -- a very simple vinegrette of red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. The only things we'd change is to first, tone down the very assertive onion taste by either cutting down to just a tbs or using vidalia instead of red, and second, double up the celery. Adding some more green stuff such as spinach, escarole, curly endive, or even dandelion greens would probably improve it even more. This and a supply of crackers would be a great for potlucks with no mayo to get all soggy while it sits.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice. Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.
