How to Make Cheap Meals : Make Tuna Salad
Hi! I’m Lisa Krone and I am here with BestEpicurean on behalf of expertvillage.com and
today we are going to learn how to make tunasalad. This is one of my son’s favorite
dishes so the first thing that I start outwith is I’ve pre-toasted some bread. He
likes it lightly toasted so I only toastedit for about a minute. You have a can of drained
tuna. I like to use the one in water, notin oil because the oil will kind of repel
the mayonnaise instead of accept the mayonnaise.I’ve already opened the can up and I like
to use this kind of large glass measuringcup here so that first of all you can see
what I am doing but I also have a good wayto mix it up where I am not crowded, so you
want to give yourself a lot of room, so I’veused one can of tuna. I don’t really measure
things out too much but for this much tunaI use a heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise.
I have this little jar of mayonnaise hereand I use about that much. It’s pretty heaping.
We can always add more but you can’t takemayonnaise out, so you want to be careful.
The next thing I love to use and this is partof my secret recipe so you can share with
everyone and it is deal relish, not the sweetrelish but the dill relish. It kind of taste
like a pickle but what it does it gives ita nice salty little crunch to your tuna salad
and if you don’t have any celery, it isa great backup plan. The other little secret
that I put in my tuna salad is I love to usehorseradish mustard but any sort of ground
mustard would work just fine as well and Iput that in. The last item that I put in is
I just use a little bit of powdered garlicand I do like a little sprinkle. You don’t
want to put too much in or you know if youare making it for kids, they are not going
to like it. All you do is mix it up, likethat and you can see that I have some nice
and creamy. You don’t want it too chunkyand you don’t want it too creamy because
if it is too wet, it will be kind of likesoggy on your sandwich. There it is, I am
just going to take a little test and see whatit taste like. That is delicious. I am just
going to take it, put some on some bread,spread it out, close my bread and we’ve
got tuna salad and that is how you make atuna salad and how you can add it to make
it into a sandwich.
