Sunday Tuna Salad (for Camila)

Tuna salad is a great way to get protein, veggies, and fruit all at once. My kids love it and it's easy to make.   Pop open a can of pineapple chunks to go with it. Or build "units" by placing a dollop of tuna salad on a ritz cracker with a slice of cheddar cheese.

Ingredients
  • 2 hardboiled eggs (get that going first)
  • 1 apple (any kind) chopped
  • sweet pickles chopped, as many as you want
  • 2 stalks chopped celery
  • 1 can of well-drained albacore in water.  Don't actually use tuna.  And make sure your albacore is not packed in oil.  gross.  (My mom always put lemon juice in the tuna can after draining it because she said it got rid of the fishy taste.  Do it if you want.  I usually don't.)
  • Enough mayonnaise to make it all stick together

Directions
Chop everything up while the eggs are cooking.  When the eggs are done dunk them in icewater to cool them down.  Peel and chop the eggs. Add them to the bowl. Add mayo and mix it all up.  Voila.  Lunch. or dinner.  Or snack.
