I put a "secret ingredient" in my tuna salad.   A tsp full of white vinegar.
I know it sounds weird, but it totally sweetens up the taste of tuna salad.
Try it.

Other ingredients I use with the tuna are sweet onions chopped, chopped
celery, salt, pepper, and of course mayo.

You can also use apple cider vinegar which works very well.  It also
has, supposedly, some very beneficial health effects.

I'm big into dill in my tuna salad, so I often toss in a chopped dill
pickle and a little of the pickle juice.

I love pickle juice in it. I like chicken salad also, with celery and
onion.

I miss bread with tuna and chicken salad, or crackers. I know, bummer.
I find it hard to just eat it plain. I like it OK with salad.

I eat it with salad all the time - but plain is ok, too.  I have
discovered that over a bed of thin-sliced cucumbers works really well
for me.

Course, in the low-fat days, I used to eat tuna salad made w/o mayo
(mustard and pickle relish) plain, and that was pretty vile.

Last week I tried dipping up tuna salad with slices of zucchini (green
squash or aubergines, for those of you in other locales).  Yummy.

That didn't work as well with the crab salad, though.  Putting that
into lettuce wraps worked out better.  And nowadays I can get a bagful
of whole lettuce leaves at the supermarket, all washed and ready to
eat, so it's quick!

Actually, zucchinis are called "courgettes" here in the UK.  Aubergines are
eggplants.

And is *much* tastier! The only times I omit the cider vinegar from my
tuna salad are when I have fresh lemon juice available.

Way macho that way!

I do like the sweet onions, celery and mayo though.   The crunch and
creaminess are a nice mouth feel, and the flavor of the tuna is awesome.

Pile it up on a Wasa cracker... sourdough Rye flavor.   Yummy.

Something quick and easy is to just add in some relish. It will really
perk it up too.
