Tuna Salad
Drain a can of tuna. It can be in spring water or oil; it can be albacore or the cheap stuff; solid, chunk, or flake. Doesn't really matter. There was a time when, if I'm remembering correctly, the late '60s/early '70s were a long time ago, "grate" was an option. If this still exists, do not use. It's not fit for dog food.
In a bowl mix the tuna, some finely chopped celery (about 1 Tablespoon's worth should do), finely chopped onion, salt and pepper to taste, half a teaspoon or so of lemon juice, and one to two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Again, it's better to start with too little mayo, adding a little more as needed, than starting with too much, but tuna is more forgiving than hard-boiled egg.
Serve on bread, toast, crackers, or a bed of lettuce.
Options: 1/4 tsp celery seed. Substitute shallot for onion.
Also again: I'll pass on the pickle.
Further comment: Mayonnaise. It can be a store brand, off brand, minor brand, homemade, or Hellmann's, but mayonnaise. Not Miracle Whip. What are you? Nine?
