This is a wonderful salad recipe. I might change the mixed greens to mostly fresh spinach. This is a delicious tuna salad recipe.
Wow, that’s so much fancier than my usual tuna salad on a sandwich, lol. I suspect this one would taste much better, too. It looks and sounds delicious.
Great flavors in this salad. I like the addition of the cranberry dressing.
Love tuna fish sandwichs and have them all the time. But never have fixed one like this. Avocado would be so good going to fix this week…… And I have everthing to make it
