Curried Tuna Salad
with plantain chips / baby carrots
This recipe first appeared in a meal plan as curried chicken salad, but it got such great reviews that we wanted to feature it again with tuna as the star. This salad makes great leftovers, so it's an ideal one to double and enjoy throughout the week.
