For diabetic reasons I used water packed tuna and slightly less than the ask for amount of pecans which I chopped very finely. I also used low fat mayo. Those little nuts really make a yummy difference and a great sandwich.

A nice crunchy tuna salad, the 1/2 cup pecans really makes the difference!! I used tuna packed in water,2 green onions and diced celery, low-fat mayonnaise, this reduced the calorie count, but did not harm the flavour, it was yummy!!!!

Good ol' Texas pecans! They make just about anything taste better, don't they? I wasn't sure what measurement of pecans to add but decided to use 1/2 cup and I think that was perfect. I also used about a 1/4 cup mayo. My guys loved this tuna salad and so did I. We will be making it this way from now on. Thanks Stella Mae, great recipe!
