SNAPPY TUNA SALAD

SNAPPY TUNA SALAD image

Not only is this "snappy," it puts together in a "jiffy." It's good as a sandwich with cheese (I like Feta) or as salad with hard boiled eggs and/or pasta.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.
