"I have been trying for a few months now to make a recipe as close to what my mother made. This taste just like it. It's not overly sweet, or fishy tasting. I do not like sea food but I could eat this sandwich everyday."

This is a delicious tuna salad. I halved the recipe and don't think it caused any problems. Plus, I didn't have any Miracle Whip, so I made recipe #267595 #267595. Thanks Madeline's Mommy for a terrific recipe.

With both mustard & mayo this was different than the standard tuna salad. I liked the addition of the tang of the lemon, but the hightlight for me was the smoked paprika. I thought the smoky note in the background made a pleasant change & I will definitely pair it with tuna again. I served in whole wheat pita pockets loaded with frisee, sliced tomato, and purple onion so skipped the miracle whip on the bread step. Made for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.

I did think this was a little on the sweet side. It also seemed just a little dry for our tastes, but that could be because the tuna I use (Polar) is drier than BumbleBee. I didn't use the Miracle Whip because I didn't have any. Next time I will increase the amount of paprika and reduce the relish slightly. Thanks for posting! Made for Spring 2010 PAC.

Yum! Classic comfort food. I liked the addition of the mustard and white pepper in this. Thanks Madeline's Mommy for a nice lunch. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
