I really like this recipe, because it's a great canvas. The flavor and texture is very good (the walnuts are a MUST), and it can be tailored to your own taste. Adding lemon juice and dill can make it more tuna-like, and using hot mustard and pickle relish can make it more like a ham salad. My son wasn't crazy about the carrot, so I might swap it with chopped water chestnuts. I will be using this recipe a lot, so thanks!!

I went vegetarian in 2008, and in my transition, I developed a love of cooking. I enjoy trying new recipes out--it's so rewarding when you succeed and the result is mouthwatering! I'm also looking to incorporate a higher percentage of vegan meals into my diet.
