I love tuna salad but I do get bored with the same old recipe. A few months ago my sister gave me this recipe and I have fallen in love with it! We enjoy it during the weekends as a late lunch with some great tasting margaritas on the side! yummy!

If you want some heat in your tuna salad this is a good idea. Perhaps I’d add some avocado to “guacamolize” it!
Copied it as it sounded good. I, too, get sick of the same old tuna salad made with mayonaise, pickle relish, celery and apple. Thanks for the good idea.
This is fantastic sounding. I love Tuna too but run out of ideas after awhile. Thanks for sharing this tasty sounding recipe.
