(I grew up with it and it's what I prefer), chopped onions and celery, chopped hard boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish and the usual salt and pepper.

I only buy mayo when I need to mix up a dip or other recipe where I don't want/need the inherent sweetness of MW. Husband grew up with mayo, but since I've been doing the cooking the past 25+ years, he prefers MW, too.

ETA: kitties have always gotten the water. Also do this with canned salmon, which I use more often than tuna. Haven't bought tuna in probably a year?
