I like to find different tuna salads and this one grabbed my attention because of the French dressing in place of the all mayonnaise versions. I knew it would be good, but I was actually surprised at just how GREAT it is! It tangy, crunchy and wonderful. I made this without making any substitutions and I'll make this again for sure. Thanx for sharing this!

When I saw "Ott's" listed I knew this was gonna at least be good... but this recipe is AMAZING! I use an entire "stalk" of Green Onion (white bulb and the 2-3 green parts) and the same with the Celery (whatever looks good and edible). I've made this recipe 5 times the past 2 weeks and I like to use 1/8 cup Pecans and 1/8 cup Walnuts (yes, half the amount of nuts). It comes out perfectly... not too saucy, not too dry - and great for finger-foods. For Melts I put the mixture on a toasted English Muffin with Tomato and Smoked Swiss, then bake at 425 for about 10 minutes. The Melts are the best! Thanks for sharing!
