Helpful hints
- Adjust portion if you are on a lower protein diet. Ask your dietitian to recommend the correct portion for your individual needs.
- The juices from the fruit and vegetables will maintain moisture in the tuna salad.
- If you’d like to munch something crunchy, try Matilde’s Tuna Salad with celery sticks or lightly steamed green beans.
