Tuna Salad with Apples, Walnuts, and Raisins

Tuna Salad with Apples, Walnuts, and Raisins

Time and time again, I always go back to my favorite tuna salad recipe which includes crunchy apples, sweet raisins and buttery walnuts. Served over greens, its my go-to gluten free and paleo-friendly lunch. I started to throw this lunch together as my mom was making the charoset for Passover.
