Grandma Dee's Tuna Egg Salad

Grandma Dee's Tuna Egg Salad

“I am submitting this recipe in honor of my grandson, Cayden. He loves his Grandma Dee but I think he loves my tuna egg salad more...I'm jealous, lol! This makes a lot but you can cut the recipe in thirds or half. This is how much we go through in 2 days, and my grandson eats at least half of it. We eat this in sandwiches, on crackers and sometimes straight out of the bowl. Some of my fondest memories are of Cayden bringing the bowl of salad and a sleeve of crackers to me with 2 spoons and climbing up in my lap to share an afternoon snack.” - Dee
Cool Cucumber Sandwiches

Cool Cucumber Sandwiches

“Oh my gracious!!! I just mixed up a batch of this!! I added two slices of Claussens Garlic dill sandwich pickles, a red bell pepper and used the inside stalks of the celery-leaves and all. Then mixed with Best foods Mayo, which I prefer because it isn’t sweet, and then served it on Pepperidge farms Rye bread...OH LORD!!!! It was the most delicious, light, REFRESHING, sandwiches I have eaten in...well I can’t remember!!” - JM

Tuna Steak Salad

Tuna Steak Salad

“I love beautiful, colorful salads with a healthy dose of protein to make a perfect meal. This is one of my favorites. The salad has a just-cooked tuna steak plopped on top. I like my tuna steaks medium-rare, but you can cook yours as much or as little as you wish. I place the tuna onto the salad shortly after cooking to allow the juices from the warm tuna to flow down into the veggie mixture. Double or triple the recipe for your family and serve it up with a warm, toasty baguette to make it a meal.” - Lynnie
Tasty Tuna Tater Salad

Tasty Tuna Tater Salad

“My new go-to recipe to take to people and of course make at home. It takes a while to make, but it's totally worth the effort because the combination of flavors is outstanding! We like a little more spice, so I added a handful of hot peppers rather than the red pepper. The suggestion of adding lemon to the tuna is excellent and mixing in the dressing with the potatoes while they are hot is just sheer brilliance! Thank you, thank you for this recipe!!” - Laurie

Outer Banks Fresh Tuna Salad

It makes about 4 lbs. and last up to seven day. It is my number one request to take to a party. Fresh Tuna and Capers makes this an outstanding dish for any get together. After having this wonderful dish you will never eat canned tuna again!” - Geraldine
