My kids ask for tuna regularly, but I feel like a can of fish with a hunk of mayonnaise stirred into has got to have some better mix-in’s to bulk up the meal with a proper dose of fruits and veggies. So this week, when my kids asked for their usual, I decided to chop in a few extra ingredients, turning a single can of tuna into a meal for four which wasn’t just filling, it was delicious! Here’s how to make give your own plain-old tuna sandwich a serious makeover, in minutes!
