Ingredients
Classic Tuna Salad
2 12oz. cans chunk light tuna in water $3.98
1 cup diced celery $0.35
1/4 cup chopped walnuts $0.30
2 green onions, sliced $0.12
1/2 cup mayonnaise $0.40
1 Tbsp lemon juice $0.04
1/4 tsp salt $0.02
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper $0.02

Other Box Ingredients

4 ribs celery $0.52
12 mini sweet peppers $1.22
20 crackers $0.74

Instructions
1. Drain the tuna well. Finely dice the celery and slice the green onion. Combine the tuna,
celery, green onion, walnuts, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until
everything is evenly combined.
2. Slice the remaining celery into sticks. Cut each mini sweet pepper in half and scoop out the
seeds.
3. Divide the tuna salad between four containers (about 1 cup each). Add celery sticks, mini
sweet peppers, and crackers to each box with the tuna salad. For extra protection, either
wrap the crackers in a sandwich baggie or pack them separately. Refrigerate the lunch boxes
up to four days.
