It’s Sunday. The day in which you can almost sense the looming black cloud ahead that is Monday. The start of another week. Oh boy, here we go again.
Even though all the courses I’m taking are very interesting, the travelling, long days, and homework kind of put a damper on my day. Being a math major, I am not accustomed to reading so much for homework, so doing so many education classes is quite a challenge for me. I’m a pretty slow reader, so I make the most of my commuting time and read on the bus/skytrain/everywhere.
This week I’m reading a very interesting chapter on intelligence. Reading about Gardiner’s multiple intelligence was pretty fascinating. Although I was a little irked that one of the intelligence did not include creating delicious food, which I thought I demonstrated this morning when I made this tuna salad.
This tuna salad has it all. Tuna, apples, and, like I said before, my favorite ingredient: lemon. All mixed up together to make this delicious tuna salad that I can bring to school for lunch.
So what do you think Gardener? That’s what I thought. Genius.
Apple Tuna Salad

Happy Sunday!
But how do you slice that thing?
Yes the black cloud of monday is upon me 🙁 However, this tuna salad would really hit the spot right about now. I love the addition of apples!
Cathleen, looks like Gardiner's multiple intelligences is due for a revamp to include ability to make yummy food! This is a first for me – apples in tuna salad, sure sounds good :)Monday's a holiday here for me and I am heading for Tuesday blues….
Never thought to put apple with tuna! Will have to try this 🙂
I love tuna salad but have never added apples to it. I bet they add a nice sweetness to the tuna and crunch. I usually add dried cranberries. Now I'll have to add some apple. Thanks for sharing.
This looks delicious, Cathleen! Tuna and apples – I love it, and I'd love this sandwich for lunch right about now 🙂
Cathleen, you're totally hilarious! I think I vaguely remember something about Gardner, and maybe I just figured out why I didn't bother to retain this info (seriously – what could be more brilliant than a perfectly created meal – c'mon Gardner)!! But seriously … yum! I love adding apples and grapes or dried fruit to chicken salad, but it never occurred to me how good apples would be with tuna! Thanks for setting me straight! (Now … if only you could work on setting Gardner straight, right!?!?)
Apples and tuna…I like both, but didn't think of mixing them together in salads. The sandwich sure looks very inviting!
Seems that we are at the same wave lenght, Cathleen, lemon is one of my favorite ingredients too.
Tasty sandwhich,love the combination of tuna and apples.
Tuna salad with apples is just yummy , thanks for sharing :).
Wouldn't have thought to put tuna and apples together! I have to try this now, just to satisfy my curiosity! (Ok, and the rumbling in my stomach, too:)
I just love such sandwiches. Easy and yummy! Tuna+ celery+apple is a nice combination.
Monday – yuk!
Apple Tuna Salad – yum!
That is a genius sandwich, fish is brain food! Love the pairing with the apple. Feel the same about monday.
I will be going to New York for yoga teacher training and not looking forward to my long commute every day… I love reading but hate reading on moving vehicles, it makes me sick and nauseous. Gardner's multiple intelligences is fascinating! Good luck this year!
mighty tasty.
Adds a nice crunch. I like this classic, never tried though with apples .
It really is a nice change. Thanks Calvin!
