Adding carrots is a great idea, but a problem I have with most tuna salads is that they usually contain either celery or cucumber, and if either of these is present, it seems to be all I can taste! Because tuna salad usually needs something green & crunchy, several years ago I started putting finely chopped scallions in mine, and everyone I have made it for has been a convert. I'll definitely try adding carrots next time, though!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"f3d28f3ea77642d886d71d570c3191ed","MemberId":4354820,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"katierave","SubmittedDate":"08\/19\/2009 15:58"},{"Comment":"

I have fixed this many times since I first saw it.
