Tuna salad makes a simple picnic. Spoons, water bottle, tuna salad, bananas, and dried fruit. No condiments, buns, or sides needed. Especially perfect for a spur-of-the-moment picnic!
Prepping the way
I usually try to minimize my prep time for tuna salad by cooking extra noodles the day before. I make double the noodles and eat half at a meal the day before then use the “leftovers” for the tuna salad the next day. This saves me time when I need to whip up the tuna salad, which is especially helpful since the noodles are also cooled. Tip: Just remember to give the noodles a stir as they cool so they don’t lump together – it will make mixing later much easier!
When I have fridge space, I just put the noodles in my mixing bowl and cover (sometimes even back in the pot, which also saves me an extra pot to wash!)
