Super Crunch Tuna Salad with Pepperoncini

By Casa de Suna

Published May 21

Protein-packed and inexpensive at most stores, tinned tuna is the unsung hero of the weekday lunch, in our opinion.

We recommend choosing a tuna packed in olive oil, as the fat and protein from the tinned tuna will mingle beautifully with the mayonnaise, pepperoncini, celery and chives in our salad.
