Tuna Salad without Celery

This is one of those food blogger recipes that has a personal touch to it. I know that is passé but that is just how recipes work sometimes, the actual human that develops them as personal touches that go into what they work on.

For this recipe it is because I have an allergy to raw celery.

Having an allergy to raw celery really puts a dampen on any of the tuna/chicken/egg salads that you find readily available because it is in all of them almost all the time.

Every so often you will find inspiration for a salad that doesn’t contain celery. For example Whole Foods has a Tuna Salad with Cranberries that doesn’t contain celery (part of this recipes inspiration) but those types of finds are few and far in-between.

So maybe you have a celery allergy like me or maybe you plain don’t like it, never fear because I have your back with this No Celery Tuna Salad with Cranberries.

Ingredients

• Tuna in Water – 4 of the 5-ounce cans, these will need to be well drained 
• Mayo – A classic addition to tuna salad
• Red Onion – Diced small
• Dried Cranberries – One thing I have noticed about a lot of dried cranberries that if they are older and have been sitting around a while they tend to get hard, make sure the dried cranberries are more fresh and still have some chew in them
• Fresh Lemon – You will want the juice of one lemon which is usually about 2 tablespoons
• Kosher Salt – Add more to taste if needed
• Chopped Walnuts – A much needed crunch for this tuna salad

For a complete detailed list of the ingredients continue towards the bottom of the page.

Instructions

Add mayo, diced onion, dried cranberries, lemon juice, salt, and walnuts to a mixing bowl. Combine.

Add in the drained tuna. Mix together. Serve immediately or keep in an air tight container in the fridge 3 to 5 days.
