My husband mostly likes plain food and that's just what this simple tuna salad recipe is. This is the way that my mom always made it for our family as long as I can remember. Most of these ingredients can be adjusted to your own personal tastes and as you can see the measurements are not precise, except for the tuna. We've always used chunk light tuna packed in oil, but you can use whatever you like best. You can also cut back on the amount of mayonnaise, if you prefer a drier tuna salad. This is a great recipe for the hot summer months and makes a wonderful lunch or dinner.
