Very, very good recipe. I made this for the Healthy Choices ABC Tag game. We really like a crunch to our tuna and chicken salad, so this was the perfect recipe for us. Tuna salad doesn't get much better than this recipe. I agree with *Parsley* no salt needed, and chill for at least two hours before serving.

I'm not sure this is the best tuna salad ever, but it IS really, really good...... especially after chilling for a few hours. I loved the extra crunch from the water chestnuts. I only had chopped the water chestnuts and celery very fine. I only had about 1/4 cup worth of celery, but it still was great. I did leave out the salt. Thanx for sharing a great tuna salad!

I have been adding water chestnuts in my chicken salad for some time now...ITS WONDERFUL in Chicken salad so I knew it would add that extra crunch without having overpowering flavor of raw celery which must be limited or it overwhelms a recipe! Bravo on using Water chestnuts..they are a great addition to a soft textured salad/recipe!
