Tuna Rice Salad

Submitted by Metlantis

"This recipe comes from a Sabbathday Lake Shaker cookbook - it's really good, and can be made ahead so the kitchen can be cool during the hot summer evenings. My dad particularly likes this. The salad is a beautiful coral color, which make the celery and optional peas really stand out!"

I made this for hubby and my lunch today and it was so good! I used wild rice and less mayo (watching the weight). I did add the frozen peas as you suggested. Yummy! Made for PAC Spring 2011.
