I love a good tuna salad. This recipe for tuna salad is so adaptable. Serve the tuna on a bed of greens, on rice cakes, inside cucumber boats, in a tomato wedge, or as the filling for a grilled tuna and cheese sandwich. I'm sure you have other ideas too. When I'm in need of a high protein lunch/snack this is always an easy and tasty option!
I created this recipe as a one serving meal, but feel free to double, triple etc. 🙂
Enjoy!
