Who would have guessed?! I actually created (as far as I know) a unique recipe for tuna salad! Jim left me home alone one day and I got hungry. Wasn't really in the mood to cook but wanted something. Staring into our pantry I decided to throw together some of my favorite things as a way of cleaning out the pantry. Turned out really good. Then for one reason or another I made a batch and took it into work to feed my co-workers and see if they liked it too.
And they did! Besides tuna, only one person guessed even one of the ingredients. But they all loved it!
Dolores' tuna salad (large batch):
2 large cans of tuna packed in water (12 oz. cans)
1 can of artichoke hearts (15 or 16 oz.)
2 small cans of (pieces & stems) mushrooms (6.5 oz.)
1 can of water chestnuts [for that crunch] (8 oz.)
a fist full of chopped onions
most of a can of tomato sauce (8 oz.)
freshly ground black pepper
Mayonnaise
Mash the tuna in a large bowl and add the tomato sauce. The tomato sauce reduces the 'fishy' taste. If that's the best part to you then leave it out. Finely chop all the other ingredients and toss in. Grate pepper over and then mix ingredients thoroughly. Add mayo to taste and consistency desired. If making ahead add the mayo just before you serve.
