Watery but tastey
Very good with the pineapples. The only thing I would keep in mind is if you use pinapples, try to drain some of the juice out because when the yoguts mixed in, it tends to get quite watery. Is there anything some one could possibly suggest to possibly make the mixture a little bit more thick?

Tasty!
I really enjoyed this easy to make tuna salad (minus the relish) It made two sandwiches for my boyfriend and I plus some leftover for lunch a few days later.

Yum!
This tasted really good. Better than the usual tuna salad with mayo and you can feel better about eating it!

Very Good
I thought this salad was great, all of the ingredients came together well. I didn't think I'd like the pineapples so I also tried grapes instead and it was delicious.

I I thought it was great!! And would definatley make it again. I normally put chopped apple in my tuna salad but pineapple was very suprised that this was delicious. I have to admit I did not have all the exact ingredients... I sub the yogurt for mayo. and celery for onion and I also used walnuts I believe. after all that It was still delicious. I did grill them last night for dinner but for lunch today just had regular with some lettuce. Thanks for the new addition.

This recipe did not taste well to me. The pineapple and relish did not agree with each other. It may not be for me, or it may be an acquired taste.

Do not be afraid!
I made this recipe for 5 adults and we all LOVED it. My only complaint is that I thought the relish was a little too overpowering, I wanted to taste the pineapple a bit more. I will play around with the amount and/or brand of relish. It is a great recipe though and I will make it often.
