A light and easy dinner before trick-or-treating. Cheap, but not as nutritious as I'd like. And unfortunately not very filling. I was starving and scarfed down some cheese a few minutes ago. Guess I should have included cheese in the meal, as I considered. Would've helped my calcium grade. I meant to put cabbage in the tuna salad, which would have added Vitamin C, but forgot. I was very happy with the tuna salad though. I've been searching for a way to make tuna salad without the crunch and moisture of celery, which Trent dislikes, and this fit the bill. I'll have to make it again with the cabbage.
