New Taste Thinking:
It seems that canned tuna comes with it's own laundry list of issues. Fortunately, most of these issues can be resolved and tuna can be enjoyed as a lean protein from time to time. This is my all-time favorite tuna salad recipe. It is light and crisp with just the right amount of flavor from the oil and lime. Try this tuna salad with cold vegetables, lettuce, pasta, lavash or in a wrap.
