Tuna Salad just might be the answer to all your food related problems.
Clearly I’m being a bit dramatic but hear me out! Undoubtedly this is the time of year that people really get into eating lighter meals, myself included. Therefore a great way to make our garden salads more exciting is by adding a scoop of tuna salad on top! Additionally it’s inexpensive to make a large batch so it’s perfect for meal prepping on a budget! Furthermore it’s so quick and easy to make a batch! So it’s the perfect recipe to make for an Easter celebration.

Easter Pinwheels App Activity:
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread an even layer of tuna salad across the entire tortilla. Make it as even as possible.
- Take a slice of cheese and cut it in half. Place it towards the bottom half of the tortilla. Feel free to add a little bit of fresh pepper here!
- Starting from the bottom of the tortilla begin to roll it upwards keeping your grip controlled and your roll even! Using a sharp knife cut the wrap into uniform sized pinwheels.
- Plate your pinwheels and serve!
Notes:
- Not sure what cheese to use? Swiss and provolone are my favorites for tuna salad!
