Making food ahead of
time can take the sting
out of preparing and
eating meals a day.
Cold salads made from
leftover meat, poultry
or fish work especially
well for meals that
need to be eaten away
from home: just scoop
into a container, toss
into a cooler with some
“blue Ice” packs, along
with some pre-cut veggies,
whole grain crispbreads,
etc., and you’re
good to go.
This tuna salad has a
complex blend of flavors and a nutty crunch. It’s great in lettuce wraps, and takes only a few minutes to toss together.
