Tuna, Bacon, and Veggie Salad

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"If your tired of regular tunafish, give this recipe a try.Cooking time doesn't include boiling the eggs or frying the bacon. "Cook" time is really the time it needs to chill.If you like you can place 1/8 cup of "french- fried onions on top of each serving. This can be used for either lunch or a light dinner.Submitted to "ZAAR" on June10th,2008"
