I like to make my own tuna mayo using canned tuna but it always seems that there is something missing and I don't know what, does anyone have any tips when making their own?

What you need is some taste to it. I like to add some Chives, Basil and Mint. Fresh if available. If you want to go Posh, you can add some sliced Olives and a few capers.

I also cut in very small pieces of tomato and cucumber and onion

thankyou boney I think I will try the chives or basil

and mishy who added that while I was typing that reply, i will try it all thanks guys lol

similarly I add sweetcorn and diced onion and loads of pepper

What Mishymoo said is also good idea. Just be creative. But be carefull of the Cucumber as if you leave it in the fridge too long it might get watery. This is why I use Chives instead of Onions. Onions tend to make water and the tuna gets runny.

wow I now feel so very boring how I made mine b4

For future reference when ever making any kind of Mayo salad do try to avoid onions and use Chives instead. Many a time I prepared the salad early and when taking it out of the fridge i notice it is a bit runny.

A little dollop of Horseradish Sauce mixed with the mayonnaise, mmmmmmmmmmm. Delicious.

Try tartare sauce instead of mayo-nice for a change and doesn't so runny

A squeeze of lime and a pinch of cayenne or dash of tabasco for a spicy little number. Yum!

All these ideas are making me hungry. Great place to get ideas.

I know this will sound weird but it is devine . I add a teaspoon of sandwich spread to the mayo. Yummy yummy

Not weird at all. Everyone has their own tastes.

A small amount of salad cream adds a bit of a zing

It just came to my mind that if you ever bought a jar of tuna sandwich spread you would realize that in the mixture there is diced bits of Pickles in it.

I add pepper,a splash of vinegar and sweetcorn....it gives it a tang and it's delish

Shnookina - love the name - a cousin of my dad's in the States used to put in finely chopped celery and cracked black pepper - I still do it this way and love it. Celery just makes it nice and crunchy

Oh Tina, I didn't know you like "Hobz bi zied" We take that with us on the beach. Somehow it tastes better on the beach. It is suppose to be a Maltese recipe as you know. I also spread the bread with Black Olive Pate (meshed balck olives)

i love hobz bi zeid, but what i am wondering is why My recipe was removed its not a copyrighted one, its MY choice of what i want on it, its like saying ham sandwich, is that copyrighted? so dear moderaters could you please put it back or show me where it is written in a cookbook, many thanks
tina

That is strange why your post was removed. I have written recipes before and never got deleted.Maybe something else was said in it that wasn't approved. I can't remember what you said so bad.

neither can i adrian

there was nothing bad in there as i don't do bad, maybe is cos i did say it was "MY" recipe thats why it got deleted, but i bet you they are all enjoying "my" recipe in their lunch breaks

didn't say, why is it when you want to edit you can't?????
