Perfect Packed Lunch: Mock Tuna Salad
So long, summer! Kids are back to reality now—school is in full swing. Save yourself some box lunch preparation time by whipping up this easy-to-make mock tuna salad. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser among school-aged children, and it’s “adult enough” for you to take to work.
Mock tuna is perfect on a bed of lettuce as a salad or in a sandwich. My favorite way to eat it is on lightly toasted bread with lettuce, tomato, and shredded carrots. Pair it with a side of veggie-loaded pasta salad and a dessert of mixed fresh fruit for a complete meal. Delish!
