I love tuna fish sandwiches. Unfortunately, until recently I couldn’t eat it without terribly upsetting my stomach. Now, however, I’m on some great drugs and can eat it again.
Post your favorite recipes here. I don’t care much for mayonnaise, so see if you can substitute.

“I have a tuna salad recipe that’s so good you could plotz!” —Shepherd Wong, What’s Up, Tiger Lily?
That was EGG salad, man. Geez.
“A salad so good you could plotz.”
I was paraphrasing. Jeez, doesn’t “artistic license” mean anything to you?
You probably want to post this in the Cafe Society forum as it is cooking related.
Here my recipe
3, 8oz cans of Starkist or other tuna fish (flaked red kind) very well drained
2 hard boled egss diced up
1/2 meduim onion diced up
1/2 cup celery diced
1 crisly medium apple
2 tsp of sweet pickle relish
dash of dill to taste
mix together and add mayonnaise to your taste (high individual)
ground pepper to taste
Toast 2 pieces of pumpernickle
add tuna fish salad to bread
add some green lettuce (not iceberg)
nice slice of tomato (or sliced cherry tomatoes) if available
sprinkle 1 tablesppon of Newmans own Caesar (shaken up) dressing onto lettuce and put other piece of bread on top

The classic is salade Nicoise…
astro, your recipe sounds lovely, but way, way too time consuming. The following family classic has been served in my family for three generations with no complaints, additions or substitutions
One can oil-packed chunk light tuna, rinsed and drained (squish it good to get all the water out.
Two or three good-sized spoonfuls of Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, depending on the size can of tuna you use.
Mix well, add more Miracle Whip as needed, salt to taste.
Consume on crackers, bread or stuffed into tomatoes. Give bowl to cats to lick clean.
Enjoy!
If you don’t like mayonaise, I can’t help you. You are on your own.
Do you like other dressings?
I often fix mine with Ranch, Vidalia Onion, Thousand Island, or Poppy Seed dressings, along with type of pickles I like, onions, jicama,…whatever is in the fridge that sounds good.
Mash together tuna, avocado, squirt of lemon juice, splash of olive oil, herbs of your choice or pesto.
…come to think of it, the line is “A salad so delicious you could plotz.”
And I think the High Majah of Rashpur says it, or maybe Phil Moscowitz.
The line Shepherd Wong has is, when he’s in bed with the beautiful female spy and she says “You know what I could go for? A good egg salad sandwich…you know…a REALLY good egg salad sandwich…” and he says “You want egg salad? I’ll get you egg salad!!!”
Shepherd Wong also gets to say “I TOLD YOU to BRING MAYONNAISE!!!..Never mind…we’ll use MIRACLE WHIP!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!” (diabolical laughter)
Ike. You know I love you like a brother. But you really need to take that medicine the doctor told you about and lie down in a darkened room with a damp cloth over your forehead.
