Caution this is the coolest tuna salad ever! Our good friend from Get Innergized with Renee is sharing another delicious recipe with us. With this dish, I had the tuna salad made ahead of time (tuna, mayo, celery, cranberries and walnuts…I wanted to add onion but I ran out of time). Cook some pasta and steamed some kale (for a minute or two). I then put the pasta in the freezer so it would cool faster and set the kale on the cutting board to cool before I chopped it up. Once I felt everything was at the right temperature, I mixed everything together in a big bowl and placed a scoop on my lovely dish. So if you end up trying my dish, let me know how it worked for you! Did you do anything different to it? Not like it? Made another COOL pasta salad instead? This foodie would love to hear! So if you get a minute, be sure to comment below and let me know.
