What's the 1/2 tsp salt for... not salty enough from the saltiness of
the tuna, cheese, mayo, and relish? I'd have omited that salt and
doubled/tripled the black pepper... needs parsley too... and a bit of
finely minced celery and onion. I like sweet relish but not with
tuna, a 1/2 cup is a lot, I'd omit that altogether. In fact I'd use
Hellmann's sandwich spread rather than plain mayo, then you'd have
your relish.
