EASY (AND TASTY) TUNA SALAD FOR ONE
I made this up all by myself. My mom and I are big tuna eaters. I eat tuna everyday and I find this to be the EASIEST and TASTIEST way I can possibly make my tuna salad for my lunch everyday. It's very quick and takes me about 5 minutes, it's also low fat and good for you. My mom tells me all the time that she loves it. I enjoy it as well, I eat this tuna salad nearly every day for lunch at school. I eat it with crackers, on bread or plain with some fruit, the Mrs. Dash gives it a great flavor, I always keep Mrs. Dash on hand. I hope you like it. It's a recipe concocted by a 15 year old chef. lol.

Steps:
- Drain your tuna well.
- Scoop into a bowl with a fork and flake it well with your fork, breaking up the larger chunks of tuna.
- Add remaining ingredients and enjoy.
- Whenever I'm in a hurry I just use the mayonnaise, honey mustard and Mrs. Dash.
- When I have time I add the carrot which gives it a nice crunch.
- Eat it on 2 slices of whole wheat bread, with tortilla chips, or with crackers.
- Sometimes I just eat it plain it tastes just fine that way.
THE BEST TUNA SALAD
While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.
