This is an easy salad to make when you're in a rush, and works great on a bed of lettuce, or used to make sandwiches.

As a salad this can be served simply on a bed of lettuce, or cut tomatoes in half and hollow them out and fill with the tuna salad.
Use all organic ingredients. Ensure all the dried spices are labeled certified gluten free and any packaged items are labeled gluten free.
Substitutions and Notes:- You can add your own personal touch, such as adding a tablespoon of relish, a teaspoon of lemon juice, or even use mashed avocado or Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- When I have fresh garden green onions or chives, they work great instead of white onions, and remind me so much of lunches my mom made for us growing up.
- For sandwiches you can use fresh buns, croissants or toasted bread. Add some sliced tomatoes and crisp lettuce leaves for some nice crunch.
