Tuna Salad with Raisins and Walnuts
A tuna salad with raisins and walnuts that’s sweet, savory, and creamy with a crunch.
Sometimes a tuna salad sandwich can really hit the spot.
Tuna salad is delicious on its own but it’s even better when additional ingredients are added to the mix.
In this tuna salad there’s sweet and savory flavors plus a little crunch.
About this Recipe
The crunch comes from celery, onion and walnuts while the sweet comes from raisins.
And the dill gives this tuna salad a hint of savory flavor.
All of which are a wonderful complement to the salty, mild fish flavor of the tuna.
Although this tuna sandwich is made with squaw bread feel free to change the bread to wheat, a roll, a bun or your favorite sandwich bread.
This salad can also be made with chicken instead of tuna.
Just shred or cut leftover cooked chicken into cubes and make the salad in the same way minus the tuna.
About Serving
Serve this tuna salad on top of a green salad, as a sandwich, with crackers, opened faced on a toasted roll or bun, or just by its delicious self.

Squaw is one of my all time favorite breads and works beautifully with your glammed up tuna salad sandwich…lovely!
Thank you!
Just looks amazing, and so simple.
Hi Mike, thank you for stopping by. Have a great week.
looks yummy, i could imagine i’m biting the walnuts! is it wheat breads in the pic?
Hi Endy, this is a type of wheat bread call “squaw bread”. I used it for this sandwich because the color is a little darker than the regular wheat bread. It’s got a sweet taste to it.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
It wasn’t until I travelled to the US that I discovered the wonder of a proper tuna salad sandwhich. I used to buy the best sandwiches from a food cart in Philadelphia which served it on rye, with a thick layer of tuna with gerkins (cornichons) salt and pepper and fresh tomato – it was sooo delicious. I used to sneak it in the library and eat it in the stacks (ancient history – where no one went). This recipe looks great. I might try it with some chopped pumpkin seeds to get a shot of magnesium.
The tuna sandwich on rye with gerkins and tomato sounds delicious. Sounds like a great idea to add the chopped pumpkin seeds….I’m actually going to try that next time I make it. Love the idea of healthy additions to this recipe.
