I like mine pretty basic, although not as basic as my husband (just tuna & mayo - period).

Oil-packed (always!) tuna, drained (the cats get the oil poured over a dish of their kibble to enjoy :) )
Finely chopped celery to taste
Finely chopped sweet onion to taste
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
mayo to taste (has to be Hellmann's)
Served by itself in a bowl or on plain white bread or white bread toast, sometimes with lettuce.

Sometimes in the summer when the basil is growing out in the garden, I'll add a little chopped fresh basil as well, but that's about it. And of course I'll also sometimes turn this into an open-faced "Tuna Melt" by putting it on toast slices, covering it with some grated cheddar cheese, & running it under the broiler for a minute or two.

We always add curry powder. Our favorite is Jamaican Green Mountain, which we buy on the web. Where we got the first bottle I cannot remember. But it is good.

The curry powder really adds a lot to the dish, at least in our opinion.

I guess I win the boring prize. I just like mine with tuna and miracle whip.

I like IC's version! Mine is more plebeian: salad greens, leftover grilled tuna, sesame-soy dressing.

Hey, I can't help it. That's the only kind of tuna salad that I'll eat or make. The other stuff tastes like cat food to me, unless it's the imported stuff from Italy.
