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.
