This is one of the best tuna salad recipes I have ever made! It even beats out my other favorite that also has cottage cheese in it. Thank you so much for sharing this - it is now my very favorite!

I made this recipe yesterday, and loved it! It really made going low-carb easy. Instead of putting it on a sandwich, I had it on top of a bed of lettuce. Delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Hi! I was wondering how much does this recipe make? I'm having to make a huge bowl for my husband to take to work one day so i was just wondering if how much more i should add! Thanks

Well I think that your recipe is just great, but Ihave always made a tuna salad with just tuna, mayonnaise, and lettuce and it has tasted delicious on toast.

This is very good tuna salad!hence the word salad!
not just a can of tuna mixed with mayo. i liked it very much and sent it to my friends,who also liked it to!

This is the BEST tunafish sandwich i have ever had. wow.

Yumo! Big time! Tried it, loved it and making it tomorrow for a study group gathering! Thanks

I was looking on the web for new and interesting sandwiches and found thirty or so. This one beats all the others hands down! I substituted pickles for capers and have been making this three or four times a week! Thank you so much,

Hello,
Can anybody please tell me if I need to microwave the tuna or fry it before? Or do I just put the tuna out of the can into the sandwich (because right now its frozen).

I really don't know a thing about cooking so your help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
San

Note from Elise: You use the tuna right out of the can. The tuna is cooked before it is canned, so it is good to go.

This is abosolutely the tastiest recipe for tuna salad. I made this for my mother-in-law and she was impressed! Our grudge is over!
Thank you!

Served on toasted French bread, this was a wonderful summer lunch! Tuna had become a tired old sandwich commodity in our house... but your recipe turned that on its head! This sophisticated tuna salad looks pretty and tastes divine. All I had in my pantry was tuna packed in water, so I drained it and added some olive oil to the mix (I'll find any excuse to add olive oil to a recipe). I also got distracted by something shiny and put in all 12oz of tuna, rather than the 6oz called for in the recipe. However, after all was said and done, I think I might repeat this slightly tuna-heavy variation for the sake of the guys in my household. Thank you for yet another fabulous recipe -- everyone in my house loved it!

Marvelous! I'm also on a low-carb diet, and this makes a great salad over a bed of lettuce. The first time I didn't have cottage cheese, so I grated some cheddar, and it was very good that way too. I use the Vital Choice albacore tuna, which is the best one I've found.

I concur with your father, Elise. I will never eat tuna fish any other way. This is an excellent recipe, quite appealing to the eye as well. For those of you doing weight watchers, it's 10 points for the whole recipe - serves four easily. Thanks for sharing this.

I've made this recipe multiple times, and it's GREAT. I like it alone (with a salad on the side). Great for low-carbers! I'd never tried the tuna in oil before this, and I'm so glad that I have. :)

I loved this recipe it was very good. I never new you could put cottage chesse or olive oil in tuna. It was great. I only had the 12 ounce tuna and I didn't want to buy any more so I just doubled the recipe the only things I didn't double was the lemon and the mayo I only used 3 tablespoons.

This was the tastiest tuna salad I have ever eaten. It was like a gourmet dish. Absolutely easy and yummy

I'm sorry, I have to be the opposing voice here, but this did not appeal to me. I love tuna salad, but this was really nothing all that special. I expected it to be totally different, especially because of the cottage cheese, but it was actually kind of unappealing.

I just made tuna sandwich for the first time following your recipe and it turned out delicious. I added some chopped pickled cucumber, too. Delicious! Thanks for sharing with us!

I have to say I love this recipe! My husband has always claimed to hate tuna and wasn't very excited about trying this recipe out, but I made it anyway. He wound up loving it, and now we make it at least a couple of times a month. Thanks for sharing it!

I don't have kids, but if I ever do they are going to grow up on a healthy and AMAZING tuna salad thanks to you. Beats the heck out of the old school tuna and regular mayo slapped on some white bread I grew up on! I am so glad I found your site!

This is, hands-down, the best tuna salad I have ever had. I've been making it for about a year now and finally am saying thank you. Thanks for sharing it!

Great recipe, especially when served on a bed of spinach leaves on toasted French bread! Just for sharing, here's my Cajun grandmother's tuna salad recipe that is almost as good as this one:
canned tuna in water, hard-boiled eggs, mayo, yellow mustard, dijon mustard, celery, carrots, onions, tomato, Tabasco sauce, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
Use a grater to keep everything big and crunchy.
Store in fridge for at least one hour before serving on po-boy bread w/added dashes of Tabasco!
