Not a fan

I'm not sure why, but I didn't really like this recipe. It was somewhat bland, so I added some spices and mayo to make it into a sandwhich and that didn't really work either. BUT my husband enjoyed it, so who knows.

I am not a big tuna salad fan- but this was quite good- lots of really fresh flavors
Good for leftover

This was good, but was much better as a leftover, when all the flavors soaked together. I would make it a couple hours ahead of time, to get the most flavor.
Great Dish

This salad tastes great and is perfect for people who want a healthy, high-protein lunch right after a workout. It's very filling without weighing you down. I substitute the dark tuna packed in olive oil with chunk white tuna packed in water.
bland and over rated

Sorry but this is a seriously over hyped and over rated recipe. For leftovers I am just going to add the tuna and bean mix to herbed mayo for a tuna sandwich and side salad of arugula instead. I will admit that the color is fabulous so it looks appealing but the taste is just ho-hum bland. It?s all about color in this recipe ? the flavors are just not there but color is instead.
YUM

This was a wonderful spin on traditional tuna salad my huband (who hates tuna sald) even had seconds!

I served my book club this salad as a main course with gazapho first. It was a perfect summer meal. Light and cool.

This is one of my favorite basic salads. It's fresh tasting and very simple to prepare. Best if allowed to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. This time I used green onion and did not like it as well. The texture variation of the red onion is important, as is using the olive based dark tuna. (My husband wanted me to make it with water packed...no way. Better to eat less and enjoy it more!)
Delicious and Quick Lunch

I thought this was great! Beautiful, healthy and flavorful. I adapted the recipe (and reduced it) ever so slightly for what I had on hand and my tastes -- for one can of water-packed tuna, I used about 2/3 c. cannellini beans (leftover from another recipe) and 1 T. olive oil. So, obviously way less fat than the way the recipe is written. I increased the arugula a bit, since I had mild baby arugula. And I didn't have any basil. It made enough for 2 lunches for me. I don't know that I would ever make this recipe as written, because I try to keep a pretty low-fat diet (this would be half my daily fat!). So, if you're turned off by the oil, try it like this. It is still delicious. For those of you who think it is bland, try halving the amount of beans -- I liked my proportions a lot.
Quite pleasant, but needed a LOT of pepper

This was certainly extremely easy to make and tasty and out-of-the-ordinary. However, I found that I needed to use a LOT of ground pepper. That is, of course, something that can be added at the table. (Note: I -did- make sure to drain and rinse the canelloni beans.)
Easy lunch

In her book "Everyday Italian," Giada says the tomatoes, greens and capers are optional. I made it without the tomatoes and greens, and it was an easy and yummy lunch. It is important to use Italian dark tuna and not the less-flavorful Starkist type.
A Pantry Lunch

After having worked a 50 hour week, I was simply too tired to go to the grocery, but there was absolutely nothing in the house. But I had all the ingredients for this recipe as stock items in my pantry. I made it and it was wonderful. It took only minutes to make and was very satisfying. The light dressing really brings out the flavor of the tuna and just slightly tones down the onion. It was ideal and I'll surely make it again. Once again, Everyday Italian serves up a great one!
surprisingly good!

This is a delicious recipe, and although I was skeptical- since I grew up in Ohio eating mayo-based tuna salad, I was totally hooked! My toddler even snubbed his grilled cheese for more of Giada's tuna! I think this would be even more amazing if I were allowed to sit in the fridge for a few hours. I also substituted baby spinach for the arugula- and It was lovely.

I made this a little different.. I blackened a strip steak in my pan, then removed the steak while it was still medium rare, put it on a plate and covered it up.. then I followed the directions for the bean mixture.. (used white wine vinegar).. but I cooked it in the pan I had my steak drippings from.. then I put my steak back in the pan and covered it for a few minutes until the steak was mid-rare.. it was delicious.. I seasoned my steak with Emerils bayou blast.. it made the beans kindof spicey.. I put the bean mixture in a bowl and sliced my steak and set it on top the beans.. YUMMY would be great with corn bread!!
