Notes
- Leave the potato sticks out of the tuna salad until you're ready to serve. They will lose their crispiness over time - keep that in mind if you're anticipating leftovers.
- Make it your own. If there's a supporting ingredient in this recipe you're not a fan of, leave it out or replace it with something else. Maybe you don't care for celery, but love fennel or would prefer carrots - swap those in and ditch the celery!
