Classic Tuna Salad
- 2 12oz. cans chunk light tuna in water $3.98
- 1 cup diced celery $0.35
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts $0.30
- 2 green onions, sliced $0.12
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise $0.40

Other Box Ingredients
- 4 ribs celery $0.52
- 12 mini sweet peppers $1.22
- 20 crackers $0.74
Instructions
- Drain the tuna well. Finely dice the celery and slice the green onion. Combine the tuna, celery, green onion, walnuts, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Slice the remaining celery into sticks. Cut each mini sweet pepper in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Divide the tuna salad between four containers (about 1 cup each). Add celery sticks, mini sweet peppers, and crackers to each box with the tuna salad. For extra protection, either wrap the crackers in a sandwich baggie or pack them separately. Refrigerate the lunch boxes up to four days.
