A Simple and Tasty Recipe for Tuna Salad!

People are always amazed when I tell them that one of my favorite comfort foods is a nice creamy tuna melt. I guess they assume that I could have anything in the world, so why choose tuna. My answer is, it’s all about the combination in the salad. Not every tuna salad is appetizing to me. I actually dislike a lot of sub shops tuna salad. The dryness and the lack of ingredients bug the heck out of me. I stick with making my very own yummy tuna salad. I got this recipe from my mom, and, in my opinion, there’s not a better recipe for tuna salad. Try it out, and tell me how you make your tuna salad! 🙂
