CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME
This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.

- Use a variety of crunchy vegetables in your tuna salad. Some good options include celery, carrots, radishes, and cucumbers.
- Add some tartness to your tuna salad with lemon juice or vinegar. You can also add other flavorings, such as herbs, spices, or chopped nuts.
- If you're making tuna salad ahead of time, be sure to store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Tuna salad can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or a light and refreshing dinner, tuna salad is a great option. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, tuna salad is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
