Capricious tuna salad is a delicious and clever no-cook recipe, a super quick appetizer (or side dish) ready in 5 minutes, you don’t have to cook anything or wait for resting times. In fact, this big salad, unlike the original where the vegetables need to marinate, is made with ready-to-eat salad, so you just need to assemble all the ingredients and mix. Moreover, I replaced the cooked ham with tuna which perfectly matches the other ingredients, to make a fish appetizer, ideal for Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve dinner. The capricious tuna salad is perfect as a last-minute Christmas appetizer, you can prepare it quickly, even the day before, and it will literally disappear, I make it every year and it always finishes, it’s excellent on its own and perfect on bruschetta, it’s always a hit!
