Notes
Storage: Store tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep it chilled at 40°F or below to maintain freshness.
Serving Size: A 5-ounce can of tuna makes a meal for one adult or two children. With the added apple and mayo in this recipe, it becomes more filling, so it’s written as three servings.
For guests, plan on 5 ounces of tuna per adult and about 3 ounces per child.
