Tuna Salad is often vilified as smelly, fishy, and a Very Bad Thing to bring to the office for lunch. This reputation put me off it for years, until I went looking for easy seafood recipes I could whip up and travel with. There’s a reason people bring it to work! And you know what? Not only is this Classic Tuna Salad not smelly or fishy, it’s now one of our favrite meals. I make it every week for easy, healthy lunches. We love to serve it on top of mixed greens for an actual salad or rolled up in nori as a wrap!
