Tips
-
1. Older kids can help to slice tomatoes and celery, drain tuna and chop cucumber. Little chefs can whisk the dressing together.
2. For the best tasting tomatoes, store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Putting them in the fridge results in a mealy texture.
3. No grape tomatoes on hand? No worries. Dice up 4 tomatoes instead.
4. Try this salad using canned salmon instead of tuna, or use leftover cooked fish.
