  1. I made this for a quick lunch today, it was very good! We loved the taste of the pecans mixed in. We had it on 12 grain bread. Along with a few sauted veggies, this made a great, easy meal. Thanks Denise!
     
  2. I served this to some of the girls I had over for a luncheon. They loved it. I couldn't find Ott's French Dressing so I used Krafts. I spread it on party rye bread along with a big platter of fresh-cut vegtables. The pecans gave it a nice "crunch". Thank you for sharing this recipe.
     
  3. Great recipe! I used almonds instead of pecans and they were excellent .. thanks, I'll make this one again!
     
  4. We really liked your tuna salad. I have made it twice now. The first time we had it scooped on lettuce leaves and it was delicious. The second time, we made tuna melts and we liked that even better. I couldn't find Ott's dressing so I just used Kraft. Definitely the clincher ingredient. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
     
  5. Excellent recipe. Prepared exactly as directed and made tuna melt sandwiches for lunch. I plan to use this tuna salad as a main course during the summer using a lettuce bed, deviled eggs, and potato salad. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  1. I like to find different tuna salads and this one grabbed my attention because of the French dressing in place of the all mayonnaise versions. I knew it would be good, but I was actually surprised at just how GREAT it is! It tangy, crunchy and wonderful. I made this without making any substitutions and I'll make this again for sure. Thanx for sharing this!
     
  2. This is a winner! I made it for a potluck picnic and served on homemade rolls-people just raved! I used almonds instead of pecans and it was so easy and delicious, this is a keeper!!
     
  3. Great recipe! I used almonds instead of pecans and they were excellent .. thanks, I'll make this one again!
