Fennel Mint Tuna Salad

Some of my favorite meals are completely accidental or born out of a mega change in plans or circumstance. This is one of those meals.

I had really great plans for a client’s weekly prep, but plans changed and we took the week off. The problem was, I had already purchased some ingredients for the menu but not others. I improvised at home and whipped up this fancy-pants lunch.

The ingredients are not at all typical of a tuna salad, but SHOULD BE. Oh man, it was so delightful and would work with chicken as well. Go ahead and get creative!
