Made this the other day and I LOVED it! I didn't really have another recipe to use with canned tuna before, so I really enjoy having something different to add to my rotation.

This is my go to tuna salad recipe, I love it! I’ve also made it with chicken and salmon, all equally delicious Highly recommend!

This is such a creative and delicious way to eat tuna. I've been trying to get my husband on board with tuna for so long and I finally found a recipe that he actually enjoyed. Thank you so much!

Absolutely delicious! I omitted the onion and added some olive oil since I didn't have a lemon but highly recommended. I ate mine with some of the leftover apple and celery and was happy and how filling it was.

So amazing! This is so quick & easy to make. I put extra apple in mine. I was thinking about adding grapes, like the chicken salad recipe you have. Thank You! Keep up the great work!

This was AWESOME. My husband loves classic tuna salad with mayo but can't have it due to allergies. This was even BETTER than the old standby. Apples are a great addition too!

Awesome! Totally easy to make. Surprisingly filling. And a nice change of flavor to a lot of other AIP compliant things I’ve been making lately... so exactly what I needed to keep me going!! Thank you!!!
