Special Tuna Salad (Kosher for Passover)

Today I made some tuna salad for my dinner.  I don't usually make tuna salad because I don't much like it, but it's one thing that is easy to make and reasonably filling - one of my big problems on Passover is that I am hungry much of the time.

So I added some of my favorite ingredients (also surplus from the co-op haha) and this is what I got:

Ingredients:

1 can of tuna
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 green part of a green onion, diced
~1 1/2 tbsp mayo (I would use soy mayo if during non-Passover season since it's 80% less fat and just the same taste-wise)

Directions:

1. Smush together in a bowl.

Variations:

In the future, if I made tuna salad again any time other than Passover, I might add cilantro, cumin, etc.

I think the red bell pepper is better than celery because celery doesn't add much other than texture.  The bell pepper adds the same crispy texture as the celery, but also some taste and vitamins.  The green pepper adds depth to the salad - you don't really notice it's there except that it tastes better.

Yum!
