I came out of my comfort zone today with this salad. Adding fruit to fish or chicken is just not my style, but this salad is really good . It comes together in the ten minutes it takes to cook the pasta. If you really don’t care for the taste of canned tuna the apples and grapes turn it into a not so tuna salad.
So here’s how it came down for lunch…
By the way I am enjoying my beach time!
