          Instructions

          • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
          • In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, cheese, celery, and pickle relish. Stir until well-blended (see notes).
          • Serve 2 Tbsp tuna salad with ½ cup (#8 scoop) apple slices (about 5–7). Serve immediately, or keep cold at 40 °F or lower.

          Notes

          • Contains milk (cheddar 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.
