This is several ways to make good old American tuna salad. There's lots of options. I like to make a decent sized bowl of this a couple times a month. It keeps well in the fridge for a week, and makes it easy to make quick sandwiches. It's made out of about 2 lbs of your choice of seafood. I prefer half of the seafood to be light tuna, as otherwise there's not a lot of flavor. All light tuna is a bit strong for my tastes, although my cat prefers it that way.
3 cans | Light Tuna and |
3 cans | White Tuna or |
1 lb | Crab or |
1 lb | Small cooked salad shrimp or |
1 lb | Cooked white meat chicken |
1/3 | Medium onion chopped fine |
1 cup | Mayonnaise |
1 tbl | Mustard |
1/2 tsp | Horseradish |
1/4 tsp | Fennel seed |
1/4 tsp | Rosemary |
1/4 tsp | Thyme |
1/4 tsp | Coriander |
1/4 tsp | Tarragon |

To serve, make a sandwich with two pieces of bread, and lettuce and tomato. Or use one piece of bread toasted, a lot of seafood salad, and a couple thin slices of Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese on top. Place on a paper plate and microwave for 1 minute. You get an instant open-face tuna melt.
