This is not your ordinary tuna salad your mom made for you as a kid. Not our mom anyway. This is a tuna salad she has been making for years, using fresh vegetables, fresh lemon juice and a touch of mayo making it lower in calories and lower in fat!
The taste is delicious with a light crunch and a citrius-y punch to it. This tuna salad is colorful and refreshing. It's terrific for those days you want something easy to make. Great with toasted french baquette or serve it as a tuna wrap in a Mulit-Grain Flour Tortillas.
I love these Multi-Grain soft taco tortillas because you get 4 grams of whole grain per serving, with 0 grams of trans-fat and additional 4 grams of protein. A great way to get some whole grains with your meal. Enjoy!
