RANDOM TUNA SALAD

QUICK TUNA AND RAISINS SALAD
A deli in Soho sold this and I got hooked. Adding curry powder in a small amount just adds a nutty, not a curried/Indian flavor. Curry is equally good added to shredded chicken and mayonnaise on bread.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for cans of tuna that are labeled "solid white albacore" or "chunk light." Avoid tuna that is labeled "flaked" or "grated," as these types of tuna are often lower quality.
- If you don't have any raisins on hand, you can substitute another dried fruit, such as cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
- To add a bit of crunch to the salad, you can add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
- If you're looking for a lighter salad, you can use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise. You can also use Greek yogurt as a healthier substitute for mayonnaise.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. The salad will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
