This tuna salad recipe is easy, traditional and downright delicious!
I’m not sure what it is, but lately I just can’t seem to get enough tuna. I’m starting to think there is something in it that my body needs. Or, it could just be that it’s darn delicious.
A good, traditional tuna salad goes well with a lot of things. It’s versatile and often pairs well with salads and other veggies, or even bread for a sandwich. My little guy loves his on a brown rice cracker. In fact, I’ve done this for his dinner a few times when he wants something a little lighter for dinner.
In fact, I would say that lately, with three blogs, culinary school, a 6 year old and a new part time job, this dish is becoming a little more regular around here than I’d like to admit. Thankfully, we’re enjoying it, and I hope you will too! It’s quick and easy to put together and makes for a great lunch as long as you stick an ice pack in your lunch for it. Enjoy it as a snack with crackers or as a full meal on a salad or in a sandwich.

Can you tell me what brand of Tuma you use? Thanks!!
The Gracious Pantry says
Connie – I get mine at Whole Foods. I don’t know the name off hand (I’ll look next time I pick up a can), but it’s a blue label with a pull tab top. It has far less mercury and is sustainably caught (or something like that).
