SOUTHERN APPLE TUNA SALAD

I grew up eating a similar tuna salad, I have since adjusted it to be a little healthier than before. The apples make it fresh and delicious! Serve on bread of your choice with lettuce. Yum!

APPLE AND CHEDDAR TUNA SALAD

Apple and Cheddar Tuna Salad image

Found this recipe on a Hellman's mayo coupon card. Sound delicious, light and refreshing. Posting here for safe keeping. When I make it, my preference would be to use the tuna in the foil packets (no draining necessary). Feel free to use your favorite brand of products. I suspect this would be good using chicken instead of tuna too or served over lettuce, etc :) If you try it, I hope you enjoy it!

TUNA-APPLE BENTO BOX

Tuna-Apple Bento Box image

A fresh take on tuna salad, this lunchbox-ready version has crisp apples and fennel and is tossed in a light olive oil-lemon dressing. There's also a herb-infused mayonnaise for easy dipping so you can adjust the mayo-to-tuna ratio of every bite. Make the salad the night before and quickly pack a bento box with whole-wheat crackers and crunchy escarole leaves in the morning for an all-star desk lunch.
