How Long Does Tuna Salad Last?

What Kind Of Tuna Works Best for This Recipe?

I like to use tuna packed in water in a foil pouch. You really don’t want to use tuna packed in oil for this recipe since you’re adding a mayonnaise-based dressing. You can find it near the canned meats in the grocery store.
