Tuna salad with a twist
December 3, 2020
I love, love, love tuna salad! My favorite tuna salad recipe calls for a lot of red onion. In an attempt to cut down the carbs, I went hunting for something different. This one is excellent, substituting radishes for the onion. Radishes have a really nice bite and are perfect in this. The original recipe calls for a lot more lemon juice than I added here. The mayonnaise I use already has a lot of flavor to it, so the lemon was over-whelming. If you are making homemade mayo, I'd up the lemon juice to taste.
