Grandma's French Tuna Salad Wraps image

My French Canadian grandmother always made tuna salad with chopped egg in it. I've made my own version, adding veggies for complete nutrition and turning it into a wrap. It's fun and we get the memory of my grandmother with each bite. -Jennifer Magrey, Sterling, Connecticut

FRENCH TUNA AND RICE SALAD

French Tuna and Rice Salad image

I used to get a tuna and rice salad at a small French bistro and was sad when the restaurant closed. I have been trying to find a similar recipe for years and finally found it from Debra Fioritto Weber. I made a few small changes, such as replacing gherkins with capers and adding tarragon to the vinaigrette.

This recipe makes 4 servings or enough salad to fill 2 large beefsteak tomatoes. Fill the tomatoes shortly before serving so that the excess moisture from the tomatoes doesn't leek into the salad.
