Wanna hear something scary? A couple of days ago, as I was on my way to Whole Food with my son, the brakes in my car decided to go on strike. I’m not kidding.
It’s not that they stopped working COMPLETELY (thank goodness!), but they weren’t working PROPERLY. And believe me, rush hour, on a main road with a six year old in the car… Enough to scare the life out of me.
Luckily someone up there was looking out for me, because when I noticed it, I was about 2 miles away from the Honda dealership. Phew…
So I pulled in, they took care of me right way, kept the car for the night and now it’s all good. Exciting story, isn’t it? Kinda?
Now, you’re probably asking yourself, what in the world does that story have to do with a tuna salad recipe?
I’ll tell you. Absolutely nothing.
It is a great recipe though. Super flavorful, light and fresh. And with no mayo. Now that, right there, is exciting. Almost as much as my story. Almost.
Have a great weekend.
