This is the first time I have seen an American make Italian tuna salad before. My grandfather - immigrated from Italy, could not understand mayonnaise. He taught me how to make Italian tuna salad. Much like what you did, but simpler ingredients. It was out of this world, and inexpensive. He grew his own vegetables, and made his own wine. My grandmother made all the pasta, meals, knit, made suits without patterns like a pro. From very little, and very poor, they created so much.

Minor thing, but I like to make my deli tuna a day in advance, and leave it in the fridge. The tuna marinades in the mix, and even the chunks you miss get some flavor. It also dries out a little, which brings it closer in texture to tuna you get in an actual deli, and that's the experience I'm usually after.

Things in the frig typically get weepier as the salt pulls more liquid out. The deli secret is getting crushed saltines and mixing in to absorb the extra liquid and fix the “looseness” of their salads.

The deli style tuna fish was seriously the best I have ever had or made. I threw out my old tired recipe and will use this one from now on. Wonderful stuff!

Totally agree with everything, but 1: too much salt! Brine is salt, too. Salt fish are salty. No need to add so much more. All of the restaurant experience is valuable except the use of salt . Guess it is a choice of making money or supporting good health of your fellow man.

I really enjoy it every time you say "all day." Just feels so familiar

Thanks for showing a canned version and a poached version! Looks delicious!

You're a very good teacher. Thank you for your cooking joy!

Why has this guy not hit 1 million subs yet he’s awesome!! Thank you for all the recipes!

Love it when KZreadrs show the canned version of things. Most would’ve just skipped to the most expensive, nicest cut of tuna they could find, but not everyone can get that, and some people just don’t want to. Kudos. It’d be hard for me to not give that poached tuna a quick sear and it all right then and there lol

Thanks for these dope recipes, Bri. Always looking to step up my tuna salad game. One of the favorite sammies in the land.

You are so adorable dancing at the end of all your videos! Love all of your videos & am learning a lot as I make my way through all of them! TY!

I very much appreciate the creativity & extra touches you bring to these vids. Bravo!

I love how u gave 2 recipies with alternative cooking methods! Def gotta try dat med!

Just made the Mediterranean version for lunch today. It was great! I enjoyed the tang the vinegar added and overall the sandwich was lovely. I agree that it pairs well with a nice glass of white wine!

I appreciate the comparison of canned tunas, it was very helpful. I made the deli version minus the mustard and adding a little lemon juice instead.

I love the Mediterranean version and the timing is perfect. I just scored some locally-caught bluefin tuna loin that will end up in this dish tonight! Thanks Chef!

Love the classic tuna salad recipe!!! Highly recommend! Made it at least 3 times

You always bring those easy foods up a notch! BAM!

After decades of using tuna in water, I've taken to using high quality tuna in oil for my "deli style" tuna salad. The little bit of added fat just means I can use less mayo (yes, I think that's a good thing). My grandmother's bread-and-butter pickle recipe is perfect for this. I like to add dried cranberries and sliced almonds. It's delicious on toast with tomato and lettuce (as you served yours) but more often than not I eat it as a tuna melt (seeded rye bread, baby swiss on both sides, grilled in clarified butter).

I cannot wait to try this recipe for the oil poached tuna salad..it looks amazing!!

Wow, I think you cracked the code with that first recipe. I've been looking for a way to make tuna salad taste good for years and this may be the best version I've ever had. Thanks very much!

That's a nice tuna spread you made there. I usually do my own kind of tuna spread containing: Canned tuna in oil, yellow curry powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayo and fine diced shallots. This spread can easily be served with 2 slices of toasted white loaf bread or made as a panini with basil pesto, sun dried tomatoes and napoletana salad toasted with 2 slices of wholewheat panini bread.

Wow, great ideas. Love your Mediterranean version. I've made a tuna sandwich with homemade mayo and poached tuna on great bread. So good too.

Wow!! awesome presentation & excellent preparation 😍❤ looks yummy

I used to eat a tuna salad every week as a kid and now I want to make some from that 2nd recipe - thanks Bri!;)

I like adding pepperoncini peppers slices on top in place of your additional pickles. I also don't put lettuce on mine when I make it at home but will if ordering it at the deli. I normally don't have lettuce in the fridge that often. I have a friend that makes it with grapes in it and then puts it on large croissants instead of bread. I prefer toasted whole-wheat when having a tuna fish or chicken salad sandwich. Then toasted white bread for an egg salad sandwich.

For the canned tuna in water, I'd highly recommend Target's Good & Gather premium skipjack. I've tried most brands, and the meatiness of that one is phenomenal. Big giant flakey chunks, not much more water than the Wild Planet, and the flavor was by far the most pleasant (to me) when mixed with some mayonnaise. EDIT: Wanted to come back and say I'm now 100% a Wild Planet guy. After doing side my side taste tests, it's by far my favorite.

I just did a variant on the Mediterranean version using canned sardines. Works really well. Gonna bookmark this one.

I was happy to see my favorite canned tuna being used for the tuna salad. I tried the recipe and it’s just simply delicious. And the mayo is the only kind I’ll be keeping in the fridge from now on. I used safflower oil and rice vinegar (somehow I am out of white vinegar). And took your advice and added the sugar to make it into salad dressing. Now to try the second tuna recipe 👍

Tried the first kind and just polished it off tonight. Absolutely loved it and my son was all about it too. Wasn't able to do the bread yet but that's next.

it was so helpful and professional

My wife and I really liked the chicken salad you made recently... looking forward to trying this one out too.

ugh i’ve loved tuna salad for literally as long as i can remember. i used to make it when i was in elementary school and maybe even younger. it makes me so nostalgic. i never thought to include some of the tuna liquid in the salad, i’ll have to try that next time! your recipe looks delish 😋

Awesome video! Love Tuna salad. Your sandwiches look great!

This went over splendidly. (The best thing is to customize it for people who don't particularly like Capers for example.) And I didn't have any shallots so I used the pickled ones that I made. Yes! That's a thing. If you have too many shallots slice them up and pickle them. And the fun thing is that they last forever you simply keep adding and stirring adding and stirring. Yay for tuna salad!

I was thinking of Tuna salad and found this video. Now I have to make your baguette recipe. 💜

#1 is my go-to. The toast is a must! 👍

I like Rio Mare tuna for my tuna salad. It's packed in olive oil, and since trying it, I won't go back to the water-packed stuff. I'm also a relish/bread and butter pickle guy, and I like to add some sweet pickled hot peppers. I'm gonna try to remember to add capers next time, though. I always have a jar of those kicking around somewhere in my fridge and forget they exist. I'll sometimes add a little squirt of BBQ sauce if I have some, too.

Europe here, Netherlands, let me say that it's a perfect video, well presented , well edited, and I can see that you know your stuff, I have subscribed , thank's for the upload.

Yellow mustard in tuna is addicting. Really good. If you can dunk the sandwich in chicken noodle soup, prepare to roll your eyes.

So happy I found your channel!

The sandwich looks amazing. I will try this one day when I am looking for lunch ideas. I will however not put as much tuna salad on my sandwich as you did. When I put that much on my sandwiches I find myself cleaning my shirt, my plate and the floor. Thanks for a great vid.

B ohh sandwiches look delicious! So (as a rule) the smaller tuna (skipjack vs. yellowfin etc.) are shorter lived but have also eaten and processed a LOT less fish from further down the food chain - and those fish include Mercury. Once ingested it stays in the fish - and the bigger fish that eat them. So big fish like yellowfin, bluefin, swordfish that have grown big by eating a lot of smaller fish will concentrate Mercury. Hence, limit how often you eat that stuff. Poaching in oil is 'Confit' - as in Duck Confit...

Made this recipe minus the capers and with 'Wickles relish' instead. Because relish is more watery, I drained the tuna instead of leaving the juice. And for an extra southern appeal, I added diced hard boiled egg judt like momma would. It turned out amazing! So yummy

I'd like to see more fast and simple dishes with canned tuna. This stuff is affordable and super delicious.

I've been adding celery, capers, olives and pickles (not all at once) to a bunch of random food! It goes well more often than poorly. For olives and capers I think it's just always an upgrade to go from salt to a more complex salty flavor. Curious if you've tried making faux-tuna salad from lower order fish like herring (Bar Harbor sells them canned).

Yuuum! Lovely recipes.
