I like to add a little bit of curry powder to this recipe for an extra kick of flavor.

This salad is so versatile! I've served it on sandwiches, crackers, and even as a dip with tortilla chips.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can make with it.

This recipe is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use canned tuna, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
