You are going to absolutely love this tuna salad recipe I am sharing with you. Besides being delicious, it’s super quick and easy to make.
The one thing you want to keep in mind is that you want this to sit overnight in the refrigerator to marinate in all the flavors. That means you need to make it the day before. Don’t forget that or you won’t have dinner to serve the same night. At least not one that will taste good.
Recipe Flexibility
I understand not everyone likes tuna and that’s okay. The best part about this recipe is its flexibility. If you aren’t a tuna person, try substituting it with chicken to make a chicken salad.
The chicken salad is just as amazing as the tuna salad and can be eaten in a variety of ways just the same.
