"A "budget" recipe from Eating Well Sept/Oct 2010. An easy way to jazz up canned tuna! I really enjoyed it with a side of edamame for dinner!"

Outstanding! My family loved this recipe. The dressing gave the tuna and salad great flavor. My family gave the salad a five and also the dressing a five, so if I could give it a 10 I would. Will be making this again. It is easy to make and a quick meal for busy days. Tripled the recipe for a main meal. Followed the recipe, except for the sugar snap peas. Forgot to pick them up when I went to the store. Also used albacore tuna. Made for ZWT7~Emerald City Shakers.
