Simple, easy and delicious. Our life is hectic right now with our big move across country and this quick salad with tuna was the perfect lunch. I don’t really follow a recipe, so what I’ve put below is just something to loosely follow. I didn’t put quantities for the green salad because it just doesn’t have to be precise.

Thank you for saying tuna fish salad. Every time I add the “fish” after the word “tuna” people laugh at me in Australia. “It’s obviously a fish, isn’t it, Maureen?” well duh, that’s what it’s called where I come from.
Lovely salad and you made me feel all warm and fuzzy and American.
Hi Maureen! I’ve always called it “tuna fish salad”. I thought if I would have said salad with tuna, most people would think it was fresh tuna seared, or something like that!
Now that’s one HEALTHY salad!!
