Makes My Mouth Water

June 25, 2010 by Julie 16 Comments

I know the thought of tuna salad is enough to make some people want to hurl, but when I think of tuna salad, my mouth starts watering and I get really excited!

Just knowing I had this beastly salad waiting for me to enjoy around noon today made me anxious for lunchtime to arrive.

Big Ol' Salad

I made my tuna salad with:

  • 1 can tuna
  • 1 tbsp. Miracle Whip (light)
  • 1/2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Sweet relish
  • 1 large stalk of celery, chopped

I combined everything and served it on top of a bed of fresh spinach along with a sprinkling of broccoli and grape tomatoes.

Tuna Salad

Something's Fishy

This was the perfect summer salad. Cold, veggie-packed and colorful.

Tonight

Tonight Ryan and I have plans to attend a special dinner in honor of the graduates from his work’s leadership development program. We’ve attended this event for a couple of years now, and this year Ryan will be honored as one of the graduates!

The dinner is being held at quite a cool location this year so I’m pumped!

See ya after dinner!

    I love tuna salad! I like to eat it with red or green grapes and apples to sweeten it up a little:)

    I’m a big fan of tuna salad too! In salad or on bread. I like adding craisins to mine – gives it just a little hint of sweetness 🙂

    I honestly love tuna salad, too! I just wish it wasn’t so smelly; my friends all look at me like I’m crazy disgusting when I bring it to school

    You know, I am vegetarian except for fish / seafood, mostly because I LOVE tuna as well! It’s so nutritious and as long as I buy the low-mercury and dolphin-safe kind, I consider it a superfood. Your tuna salad looks awesome!

    I can’t stand fish of any kind. Then again, I can’t stand meat in general, of any kind! So yeah, it sounds digusting to me, but I have to agree. It is easier to get through a workout when you know an awesome meal is on the way!

    I also love tuna salad. However, I’ve been vegetarian for a year and a half now and it was one of my meal staples I had to give up… until Wednesday!!! I found a mock tuna salad recipe that was pretty face rocking! I also made a really great salmon salad for my husband. Check it out!
