The CHEF TIPS:

• Contains milk (cheese) and fish (tuna).

• To keep fresh cut fruit from turning brown, coat them with an acidic juice, such as lemon or orange, or use a commercial anti-darkening agent.

• If preparing in advance, store tuna salad in an airtight container at 40 °F or lower until ready to serve.
