Caper Tuna Salad
As I was doing a 24 hour challenge of no refined grain products for one of my FB groups, what did my body crave, everything as a sandwich especially a tuna fish sandwich. I looked up different tuna fish salad mixtures and combined the following for a DELICIOUS salad! Side note – you can also add a stalk of celery, chopped for more crunchy taste but didn’t have it at the time. I also love capers so used 2 1/2 Tablespoons of it instead of the amount below but that may be too salty for everyone.
