tuna salad for a small army
Tuna salad is a staple in this family! Instead of opening a dozen smaller cans, I prefer to buy the bulk size cans at the warehouse store. This recipe is made for just that. Adding lots of celery and a minimal amount of mayo keeps the fat content within reason and allows the huge portion of tuna to serve us well for many delicious meals. The celery adds a very nice crunch too. This is best (and healthiest) served on a very hearty whole grain bread (like Ezekiel) or as part of a salad--over a bed of spinach or inside a tomato. Enjoy!
