Curried tuna salad

I find myself in a conundrum often: wanting to eat something super delicious but not wanting to cook. Or move much. Or get hot. Or dirty more than one bowl. This tuna salad is my solution to said conundrum.

No-cook dishes that taste amazing are the gifts that keep on giving, because you can eat them for days. It’s the perfect combination of spice, sweet, and all different levels of crunch. Curried chicken salad is one of my favorites, too, but that also requires cooking. And why should chicken get to have all the fun that curry offers?

I love this salad best in lettuce cups, but feel free to eat it whichever way you wish.
