I will be some tga
To expensive to make
This is one of my healthy go-to meals. I also like it with chopped cherry tomatoes in the salad, instead of stacked, when good tomatoes aren’t in season. Then just eat it with a spoon or on some toast. Makes me feel virtuous after yoga.
I just made the tuna salad without the tomato-very tasty! I’ve always made tuna salad with mayo, but this is an excellent alternative and likely healthier.
