How To Make tuna salad sandwich and/or easy summer fare

Step 1

I prepare this in a plastic covered bowl that can go directly to the fridge.

Step 2

Place Tuna in bowl, dice and chop celery and onion. add pimento and jalapeno if desired. Mix somewhat. Onion optional, not everyone likes onion in their Tuna.
Step 3

Add pinch of Salt and Pepper. Add Mayo and stir and mix well.
Step 4

Serve as sandwiches or cracker fare. I also love my Tuna Melts with choice of cheese. I prefer Rye Bread for most everything. Enjoy!
