Delicious! I added orange zest, green onions, and served on pumpernickel bread with leaf lettuce. It was one of the best tuna salads I've made recently. My only tiny complaint is the tuna is a bit "wet". Next time I'll add the mayo in smaller amounts. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I made this as a sandwich spread instead of a salad eaten on lettuce! I paired it with a mini crunchy french bread type roll with a slice of swiss cheese! It was a lovely change from my normal mayo and pickle relish tuna salad! I did omit the orange slices since I ate as a sandwhich, but I put the lettuce on the sandwhich :) ! Thanks for posting!
