If you have been following me for a while you will know that I am a huge fan of colorful food. The goal is to eat the rainbow. So this tuna salad hits the target.

It’s pretty and packed with delicious fresh veggies and it is the perfect thing to serve for weekend brunch.

You can also serve it with bagels on the side for those wanting to make a sandwich.
