Be aware that Albacore Tuna does not have the Omega-3 that Chunk Light does. This is a terrific recipe (but, less Mayo would be better. I also use Miracle Whip Lite in mine. Tuna, celery, onions, and Pimento Olives (all chopped fine, our family's base recipe give plenty of taste - radishes and honey mustard added something special. I left out the pickle relish (too sweet and the peppers (skins too tough.

Let me be the first to admit that I am not a fish eater, I tolerate tuna but only if it is disguised well. That said both my husband and I liked this recipe. I used standard light tuna in water, drained because that is what I have in the house. The crunch from the veggies was wonderful. I used fat free miracle whip(don't like regular mayo. Next time I will cut the miracle whip back to 1/2 cup for I thought it was just a little too much. Also, my husband felt this would benefit from the addition of some cayenne pepper so might try that next time too.

This is a great alternative to regular tuna salad. The crunch of the vegetables makes this extra healthy and delicious! I found with the 12oz tuna, it got runny, so the second time I used a large can of white albacore tuna in water, drained and halved the amount of mayo.
This is definitely a staple in my house! Thanks Hungry Girl!
