This recipe is tweaked from one I found. It is so good, my husband, who is a very picky eater, often requests this! Enjoy and pat yourself on the back for eating a healthy meal.

Wonderful flavors! I substituted raisins for the dried cranberries and used plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Also, I left out the salt and pepper. The sweetness of the fruit balanced the tuna and yogurt perfectly. This is my new tuna salad recipe of choice. Read More

I've never been as big a fan of tuna salad as my husband, but I did enjoy this. The cranberries and fresh apple provide just the right amount of sweetness. I did miss the crunch of chopped celery, so I'll probably add a little next time, and 2 Tbsp of mayo was more than enough. Had today for lunch using pita bread with some fruit on the side, but would be equally good on some spinach or lettuce. Read More

I loved love loved this. I normally don't make tuna fish because it's boring to me. This was not. I did add about a tbsp of lemon juice which have it a nice little bite. Delicious! Read More

Great recipe! Now I'm going to substitute Greek yogurt (my wife doesn't like mayo) take the hint from the photo with your recipe and serve slices of fresh fruit on the side (she loves avocado and papaya) and serve stuffed into 100% whole wheat pita along with spinach leaves! Thanks for sharing! Read More

This was super easy and yummy. I doubled this recipe for my family of four. I chopped the spinach up and added it to the salad. I served it with flatbread but honestly it was yummy without bread. Read More
