Tuna Salad is a family favorite and my kids consistently ask if I will make them a tuna sandwich. I’m all for it because the recipe I use is the easiest tuna salad recipe.
Tuna, mayonnaise and relish are the basics for my tuna salad recipe. If you choose, there are several other things you can add to make this recipe more complex.

Ahoy! I’m the fearless captain of this ship, navigating the wild waters of motherhood with four deckhands (kids), two pint-sized stowaways (grandkids), and a never-ending to-do list. As a Jill-of-all-trades, I can, put a shine on something lackluster, stretch a dollar further than the horizon, and chase squirrels like a seasoned deckhand swabbing the deck.
I believe in living on less—why buy a yacht when you can sail smoothly on a budget? Whether I’m steering through life’s storms, reeling in bargains, or setting sail on a new adventure, I do it all with a splash of humor and a stash of chocolate in my treasure chest (a.k.a. purse).
Join me on this crazy voyage where the coffee flows like the tide, and the squirrels are always just off the starboard bow!
