I made this as a sandwich spread instead of a salad eaten on lettuce! I paired it with a mini crunchy french bread type roll with a slice of swiss cheese! It was a lovely change from my normal mayo and pickle relish tuna salad! I did omit the orange slices since I ate as a sandwhich, but I put the lettuce on the sandwhich :) ! Thanks for posting!
