Garden Tuna Salad Recipes

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

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.

GARDEN TUNA PASTA SALAD

A delicious pasta salad that tastes great with all the veggies in it. I substitute canned shrimp in place of canned tuna if I want to change it up a bit.
