"This is something I've been making for years but never thought to post. Tuna salad complete with shredded carrots, red onion, crunchy celery, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese - enough to satisfy the even the healthiest of appetites. It is great for salads and sandwiches - I like it especially for dinner topped on a large bed of salad greens to make a filling - high protein meal."

This was so good! I served it over salad greens and it's a WW 6 point meal. I threw in some craisins and used oven-dried tomatoes from Mirj and I really enjoyed a light, refreshing and different tuna salad. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

I thought this was delicious! I really love that it's packed with veggies. I made a couple changes, one being I replaced half the mayo with plain yogurt and instead of parmesan I used feta. I know that last change is significant, but it was still delicious. I will try it again with parmesan and I'm confident it will be at least equally delicious. Thanks!

This was great. I thought the parmesan cheese was an odd ingredient but it gave the salad a nice zing. I just ate it with some fresh Italian bread and there is a ton left over in the fridge.

Great recipe! What a wonderful and unusual combination of flavors. Lots of veggies and the parmesan gives it almost a ranch flavor. I had some over baby spinach and some with crackers. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
