You all loved the NY deli chicken salad, so I thought the tuna salad would be a great one to share as well. Make sure to refrigerate overnight before eating! That is the single most important thing with this or any deli salad. If you like these NY deli recipes and want more, let us know below! Thanks for liking our videos and sharing our family table each week.

Hey, are those rolls what I've always called Kaiser rolls? If not, what's the difference between them?

@jeanniebrooks 21 день назад

I always thought of them as Kaiser rolls. Same thing without the poppy seed was a “bulky roll.” If they are fresh and not stored in plastic bags they have a crisp crust and are often called hard rolls, depending on the part of the country you are from. Great for hot pastrami sandwiches & the like!

Also agree with him 100%, too. Regular tuna sandwiches are better than tuna melts. There's the rare occasion I want a tuna melt, but for an everyday sandwich, just mayo, lettuce and tomato and you're golden. Also personally, I like putting chopped up pickles in my tuna mix. Adds so much with the flavor and texture.

Gotta love James the taster who could not stop eating the melt that was not his favorite. Used to like tuna sandwiches from a work cafeteria, chef confided he added a dash of curry to the mix; it provided an extra dimension to the flavor. Thanks for sharing.

@ruthwest1459 11 дней назад

Yes on the curry it really is better.

@JesseGast 20 дней назад

Working with an International Master Chef, we always placed our #10 cans in a strainer in the sink and then take the tuna in a handful and squeeze as much of the juice as you can from the tuna then flake it into the bowl that we would then add the dressing mix(mayo etc). That way the tuna is way dry and will absorb the mayo etc.

I’ll never forget the very first time I ate one of their subs. THE most amazing sandwich I’d ever eaten up until that point, or since. Quality meat, cheese and vegetables are a given, but I’ve always stood by the fact that the cubed pickles were the best part of the sandwich. They make a difference that I’ve never understood. I never fail to put pickles on my homemade subs, but I think of those cubed pickles every.single.time. Thx!

@MGySgtCraig 12 дней назад

I was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, so Deli food is one of the things I miss along with local pizzeria slices. I still make my own tuna salad on rye bread, with Hellman's Mayo and Walmart New York Rye Bread, which is not bad at all. Since I have spent almost 20 years of my life in Asia since I left New York in 1975, I have come to appreciate Wasabi. I now combine Hellman's with Wasabi Mayo for my tuna salad. If you want to add something exotic to your Deli choices, give the Wasabi Mayo a try.

In the 70's I loved tuna melts, now I love cold tuna sandwiches with lots of celery.

Starkist “solid white albacore” is exactly like what “chunk light” used to be. “Solid White “ used to be like a dense tuna steak and there was very little water (or oil) in the can.

I think the chicken was the same as you’ve already made. But my mother always swore by a splash of vinegar in her tuna salad. I love it that way to this day. It might have been an early 20th century thing. She told me that’s how my grandmother made it and everyone else in her world back when she was young in the 30’s and 40’s.

@nepa_cat_wrangler 20 дней назад

I made this recipe last night and it sat in the fridge overnight like you suggested. I tried it a couple of hours ago and this is the best tuna salad I've ever made !!!! It wasn't even wet either and I used Duke's mayo, sorry that's the only brand we buy. I'll be making this often :). Keep some more deli recipes coming !!

My friends always ripped me for liking cheese on a tuna sandwich, so it was funny to see James say that. I love it with cheese though, especially Cooper Sharp

Funny I don't care for it on a cold tun a sammie, but on a melt, of course!

@jonahbrown5669 20 дней назад

My father didn't know what he wanted for dinner, so I offered to make him a tuna melt. He was disgusted at first, thinking tuna and cheese didn't belong together. I made it for him and he absolutely loved it 😅

@normanhathaway2275 10 дней назад

Well if it's a DELI sandwich, then its roots are in jewish cooking, thus, no dairy. A patty melt is a diner staple - not in a deli.

This is the tuna salad recipe I’ve been searching for my whole life! I always wondered how to get it to taste like the deli version! Thank you!

@Flavum 21 день назад

Looks delish. I know this isn't the deli recipe, but my family's version included chopped hard boiled eggs. One egg per can of tuna. Definitely needs to sit overnight.

@marymcginn741 20 дней назад

I add a hard boiled egg,mashed, for every 2 cans of tuna.

I just reheated 1/2 tuna melt in the oven at 350° for about 15 minutes. So good! I will use your ideas next time I make tuna. Never used celery salt in Tuna. Usually only in my Cole Slaw. But I'll try it. Thanks!

@jhchooo 15 дней назад

Secret tip - use a food processor. Chop the veggies first, add mayo then the tuna last - don't over blend. You'll thank me after you try it.

@perotinofhackensack2064 20 дней назад

I was slightly offended by that actually. I used sit on the counter when I was young! The counter is a great place to sit. 😁 I think James used to sit on the counter more when he was young in the older videos. He belongs there! James, please get back on there just for me hahaha...

And this is why we won't have granite counters. They look great, but they are surprisingly fragile. We cracked one just standing on it to reach a light bulb in a chandelier.

@jiffjiffernson7292 17 дней назад

before you break it - what? is that a total dad thing or did he/you say that on purpose?

@hanknmosul 11 дней назад

I worked in a granite shop for 5 years, helped start the shop up in the early days. Thin slices of granite are fragile, like at the front of a sink. We were very careful to support the front of the sink during installation, but that is the most vulnerable spot in the whole kitchen. Don't put weight on it! Cabinets settle after installation, so the support might have shifted. Be careful at the sink! I don't know how to make that any clearer. There's no flexing with granite. Next to diamond, it is the hardest natural stone (and the most beautiful, when polished).

I like my tuna salad with finely diced onion, celery, mayo, a little lemon juice, and a pinch of tarragon. I don't think I've ever ordered a tuna salad sandwich in a deli. I'll have to try your version. Your recipes are always delicious.

@jeanniebrooks 20 дней назад

I use tarragon too, and everything but the lemon. I’ll try adding that. The zest might be good also. And fresh cracked black pepper- that’s a must!

@taritabonita22 19 дней назад

My secret Tuna Salad weapons - teaspoon of Dijon, green onion instead of white, squeeze of lemon and Old Bay Seasoning. Another great tutorial! Tuna Melts are big in the Midwest and absolutely with a cup of creamy tomato basil soup. Okay, I'm off to like all your Instagram posts 😄

I miss the NY Deli's. I grew up eating deli sandwiches in Flushing an LI. I learned how to make my tuna salad from German deli owner whos secret was using fresh squeezed lemon juice. I love watching your channel it brings back great memories growing up eating deli food. The sandwich wrapping almost made me tear up because that was the style of the NY deli, you don't see that anywhere else. I miss LI so much. Thanks for sharing these great ideas.
