Curry Apple Tuna Salad
"This is my mother's tuna salad. I added the walnuts after I married a man who loves nuts. Melt it with cheese on an English muffin or a piece of rye for a quick lunch."

My husband liked this as is but it was way too much mustard for my taste. If I make it again, I may cut the amount of mustard in half. -
This was a wonderfully light lunch after all of the heavy holiday foods! Served this on a toasted bun and with a side of fresh fruit salad. This is very filling. Loved the crunch of the walnuts and the taste of the apple. Thanks for posting. DH really enjoyed this. -
This is a terrific tuna salad. I love the nuts in there. It's not over-mayonnaised; you could even add a little more mayo. It may seem like it's a lot of Dijon mustard, but nothing overpowers anything. I even added a generous 3 "pinches" of curry powder, and still nothing was overpowering. The apple (I used Braeburn) adds a nice sweet/tartness. This would be a good salad for luncheons or wedding/baby showers. Thanx for posting this....I'll make it often. -
Thanks for posting this Chaya. The tuna salad was wonderful. Full of good crunchy stuff that went well together. I love the flavor of the curry powder too. Great idea :)
