Tuna Salad Recipe – 1

A salad that is both attractive and appetizing can be made by
using tuna fish as a foundation.

This fish, which is grayish-white in color, can be obtained in
cans like salmon. As it is not high in price, it gives the
housewife another opportunity to provide her family with an
inexpensive protein dish.

1 c. tuna fish
1/2 c. diced celery
1 c. diced cucumber
Salt and pepper
Vinegar
Lettuce
Mayonnaise

Open a can of tuna fish, measure 1 cupful, and place in a
bowl.

Dice the celery and cucumber, mix with the fish, and sprinkle
with salt and pepper.

Dilute some vinegar with water, using half as much water as
vinegar, and sprinkle enough of this over the mixture to
flavor it slightly.

Allow the mixture to stand for about 1/2 hour in a refrigerator
or some other cold place and just before serving pour off this
liquid.

Heap the salad on lettuce leaves, pour a spoonful of
mayonnaise over each portion, and serve.
