Most of the above work for me. I like to add bonito flakes and / or furikake for a change of pace.
I think we did just do this… mine is tuna, bleu cheese dressing, black pepper…
Serve on toast
Three main ways: the mayo way, the oil-and-vinegar (or lemon juice) plus herbs way, and this way, which is weird and amazingly delicious.

Drain a can of tuna.
Add olive oil.
Add curry powder.
Add cayenne.
Add raw garlic.
Serve on toast with peanut butter; on toast with cucumber; or as a melt. It’s SO GOOD.

Make a salad as you normally would - for me it’s mostly lettuce with some tomato, cucumber, cheese, olives, bacon bits. Add dressing. Open can of tuna (preferably Solid White Albacore in water, but any will do), drain, dump on top of salad.
Tuna, mayo or MW, black pepper, raisins, shredded cheese.
I love olives and never thought of putting them in tuna salad; tradition in my house called for sweet pickles so that’s what I do. But I’m sure going to try it with olives next time. Thanks, you all.
You know your hungry when you read tuna recipes on the Internet wistfully.
Thanks for the idea. I’ll try it your way.
Solid white in water, with mushrooms (thank you Julia Child!), celery, and onion, finely chopped.
Hellmann’s mayonnaise (there is no other).
Chunk light tuna and Miracle Whip are both abominations. Either of these ingredients disqualifies the end result as being called tuna salad.
I do some variation of all that’s been mentioned. My only addition is raisins / dried cranberries / or blueberries. My favorite is open faced on sourdough bread with melted cheese.
This is one of those foods where simplicity works best.
Tuna, Mayo, Salt, Standard Black Pepper on White Toast Triangles and a Bowl of Soup.
This stuff I’ve used:
Tomato
Lettuce
Eggs

Celery Salt
Cracked Pepper Corns
Onions

Garlic Powder
Cheese’s

Albacore in water, drained
2 boiled eggs, chopped
Dill relish
Mayo
yellow mustard
salt
pepper
onion powder
No sweet pickles or relish
No Miracle whip
No sugar
No cake donuts
Tuna, chopped no-garlic dill pickles, lemon-pepper seasoning, dill. Mayo goes thinly on the toast if there’s a sandwich, but not in the tuna salad itself.
