A cashier at my local grocery store showed me a trick with canned tuna that I still use
I was standing in line a few months back at the Food Lion on Main Street, holding a can of tuna and a jar of mayo, feeling uninspired. The cashier, an older lady named Carol, looked at my stuff and said, "You know, you can skip the mayo if you just mix in a can of drained peas and carrots instead." She told me her mother used to do it during lean times, and it makes the tuna stretch further without getting dry. I tried it that night with a can of mixed vegetables and some salt and pepper, and honestly it was better than my usual tuna salad. Now I keep a few cans of peas and carrots in my pantry just for this. Has anyone else tried adding canned veggies to their tuna? I'm curious what other combinations work.
