Cold Tuna Salad

This quick and easy dish only uses six ingredients and is perfect for a light lunch or a side dish to share. It is great eaten right away (especially if you like it really creamy) or can be chilled and enjoyed later. The recipe below is for a full batch, what I demonstrated above is for a half batch which is perfect for 2-3 for lunch. The full batch will feed 4-6 as a light meal or 8-10 as a side dish
