Tuna Salad

Tuna Salad is a protein-packed main dish that’s easy to make with simple ingredients you may already have available in the pantry.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 

For this recipe, I used chunk light tuna packed in water.  Tuna packed in oil can also be used (be sure to drain thoroughly before using).  

 

 

HELPFUL TIPS 

~Jarred mayonnaise with a “homemade taste” is perfect in this recipe because it provides a creamy texture and flavor.

~Crisp sweet salad cubes add texture and a slight crunch.  

 

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Enjoy slathered on your favorite bread.

 

Also good served with my smooth hard boiled eggs on the side.

 

ENJOY!
