Notes
- This is a healthy serving. I almost didn't finish but it was so good I kept going back for more!
- If you don't have dried mint, don't worry about it. It will still be delish without it. I just love mint and beets together and it added a nice touch for me.
- If you aren't a beet fan, this base tuna salad would go good with just about anything, a bed of greens, in a pita, served with crackers, anything.
