How to Chop Onions: Cut a whole, peeled onion into thin slices about 1/4-inch thick. Stack two or three slices. Make several crosswise cuts in both directions down through onion slices. OR, with whole, peeled onion facing up, make several crosswise cuts in both directions partially through the onion. Do not cut completely through onion. Then turn onion so that cut end faces out to the side. Cut into slices.
Substitute 1/2 cup cooked cleaned shrimp for the tuna. Add with the celery and onion.
