directions

  • Take the cans of tuna and place them in a mixing both with water intact, do not drain.
  • Chop red onion, celery, dill and sprouts.
  • Place red onion, celery, dill and sprouts in tuna and mix with fork until tuna, and the other ingredients reach a paste type consistency.
  • Mix in powdered mustard -- be sure all is mixed in evenly.
  • Mix in dijon mustard -- be sure all is mixed in evenly.
  • Taste -- make sure the ingredients are mixed to your liking -- add extra of dill, red onion, celery, powdered mustard or dijon if desired.
  • Add dash of onion powder and McCormick Garlic and Herb powder (or McCormick garlic and dill powder, or plain garlic powder).
  • Taste -- if desired put a few more dashes inches.
  • Make sure is mixed evenly and put mayonnaise in -- if more is desired -- put more in! Put each teaspoon in separately so not too much or too little is put in -- I am not much of a mayo person so for me less is more :).
  • Mix evenly and put on a sandwich with tomato and sprout or even melted with swiss cheese for a tuna melt! You can even toss with lettuce and tomatoes for a great salad!

  1. My husband and I loved this as a tuna melt mix! I just used one can of tuna (for 2 people) and just estimated the rest. I used white onion instead of red, dill weed instead of fresh dill and I didn't have Dijon mustard. It turned out great! We will definitely use this again!!!
     
  2. My favorite tuna recipe these days and I make it often! I usually leave out the sprouts or place them on the side mainly because I don't usually have them on hand. Love it!!
     
  3. Very good. I made tuna melts for my husband and I had mine on a bed of lettuce. Thank you for this healthy and flavorful recipe. Very economical too!
     
  4. I made this recipe for COOKING PHOTO SWAP #7. I was great, I loved the extra flavor the mustard added. It is much healthier than the way I make it (to much mayo). I did drain a little of the water and it still turned out great. I wan't able to get fresh dill (small town) so I added a little dill relish.
     
  5. In all the years I've been making tuna, I never once thought it could be used without draining it, so I learned something new from this recipe. Mine definitely did need some extra mayonnaise, though--even with the extra water and all the mixing, it was quite dry. I also mixed in some chopped radishes. It made a nice sandwich. Thanks for posting!
