This simple recipe is based on a Chicken Salad my mom, Debbie became known for when we were growing up. The secret ingredient is the curry powder, adding extra flavor without having to use a lot of salt. I can make two pyrex conatiners for us to take to work in less than 10 minutes. So easy and refreshing!

INGREDIENTS:

1 can Albacore White Chunk Tuna (in water is best)
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
10 grapes, green or red, halved long-ways
1/4 cup almonds, chopped
1 T dried cranberries
2 T mayonnaise
1/2 t curry powder
s + p

DIRECTIONS:

Strain tuna, flake into medium-size mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients. Mix lightly, being sure not to smash the grapes.
Season with s + p to taste.
To keep the sandwiches fresh, I package the tuna salad seperately from the bread, cheese and lettuce.
When it's lunch time, add the salad to the sandwich. Or, for a simple tuna melt, I remove the lettuce, add the salad to the bread and top with cheese. Use a toaster oven to melt the cheese. Add the lettuce, and enjoy!
