Great recipe…. Where are the fur babies???? Miss you on QVC.
I’ve never tried radishes in my tuna! Or the capers! I will add some when I make mine today! Mary
This will put a little kick in your tuna sandwich. Definitely will try this.
Have you ever tried it with dill pickles? I’m not a fan of sweet.
Hi Terry. I have made it with both kinds of pickles and they both are good in this recipe.
I add onions, dill pickle relish, chopped peperocinis, green olives, a little mayo, squirt of mustard to my tuna salad mix.
I like your version.
I’m making this Tuna Salad as soon as I get the capers an pickles. Sounds delish!
