Tuna Salad With Fried Onions

Submitted by Kathy228

"Another version of tuna fish salad. It seems like a lot of mayo in the recipe, but after chilling, it's the perfect amount. Use in a sandwich, on crackers, as a dip. I use tinned, fried onions from the Asian or Indian grocer. I think French's brand may work too although I've never used it."

This is pretty good. I tried some right after making it and again after it had chilled, and the chilling definitely improved the flavor. Tried it on sandwich bread and just by itself, and I prefer eating this just by itself. It's a nice change from my standard tuna salad recipe. Thanks, Kathy!

I had this for lunch today and I wasn't too crazy about it. I used French's fried onion and Hellmann's mayo and I also added chopped pickle. I guess that I'm just used to regular tuna salad. Thanks for the try.

This was unusual, but good. My son really went for it. Thanks for the posting!

The DH and I really liked this, but at his insistance, I added a little sweet pickle relish. Used the extra onions from the can in another zaar recipe.Thanks for posting!
