Basic Tuna Salad

Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook, p. 62

1 6 ¼ ounce can tuna

1 teaspoon sweet relish

1-2 teaspoons mayonnaise

1 scallion

Drain and discard the liquid from the tuna. Transfer the tuna to a small bowl and separate it into flakes with a fork. 

Canned tuna. It is what it is.

Mix in relish and the mayonnaise to your taste.

Wash the scallion. Cut off the root tip and top 2 inches of the green end and discard them. Cut the remaining white and green parts into ¼-inch pieces and add to the tuna salad. 

If you don't get the relish mixed in well, one of your bites is going to be a big surprise!

Mix thoroughly and serve as a salad or as a filling for sandwiches. The salad can also be served chilled. 

Who doesn't chill tuna salad? Weird people, that's who.

My Rating: 4/5 "A really quick, simple, and filling lunch that has nice flavor without being sloppy and oily. It's called 'basic' for a reason, but it reminds you that sometimes simple flavor combinations can be awesome."
