Nice tuna salad. I had to use red pepper as I was out of green and omitted the olives for personal preference. This made a simple and tasty sandwich. Thanks Studentchef for a nice lunch. Made for Went to the Market Tag. -
This was good. I was surprised by the nice flavour of the oregano and black olives in this. I made the mixture into little wraps of cos lettuce leaves chopping each ingredient small. But I left out the green pepper as a preference and used canned black olives for the olives. I would make these again trying a toothpick to keep them together and maybe add a squeeze of lemon. -
Wonderful sandwich. I especially liked the addition of the black olives and oregano. -

Very nice tuna fish mixture. I made this into sandwiches using a sourdough bread lightly toasted. I left out the green onions and topped the tuna with a thin slice of red onion. I didn't really care for the oregano and not sure why. Anyway, it was very good and made for a nice light dinner. Thanks -
I served this on sourdough bread as a sandwich and loved it! It was my first time using oregano in tuna and I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks Studentchef!

This is a very nice Tuna Salad Recipe. I added the green onions with the tuna instead of with the celery so they did not disappear in the mix. I did have to pulse the tuna more then twice to get it chopped up but no big deal. I did it gently as possible. I omitted the salt since the olives were briney. The proportions were spot on. Thank you Student Chef for the lovely lunch!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that.
I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.
