Have you tried making tuna salad with homemade mayonnaise? You can
vary the flavoring in the mayonnaise to suit your taste. Try your
next batch with this: Put the yolks, 1 tb oil, lemon juice, salt,
pepper, and mustard into the bowl of a processor and process until an
emulsion begins to form. Then, with the machine still running, begin
to add the rest of the oil, almost drop by drop, until it's all
incorporated and you have a thick mayonnaise.

Mash up the red peppers until very fine and stir into the mayonnaise
until it's completely incorporated.

Taste and adjust seasoning to your own personal liking. Add to your
tuna salad, along with some finely chopped scallions or shallots and
perhaps some finely chopped celery. If you like curry in your tuna
salad, this can be added instead of the red peppers, but add it at
the same time you put the first ingredients into the processor.
