Tuna salad
When throwing a tuna salad together, you probably grab the can of tuna from the pantry, toss it with the rest of the ingredients, and head to your picnic. But because the can is starting at room temperature, your salad wont be cold and youll already be headed for trouble, Nelken says. Refrigerate all ingredients the night before, so when you make the salad in the morning theyre nice and cold, he says. Better yet, make the entire dish ahead of time, and leave it in the fridge overnight so the flavours can blend. If you can’t, it’s best overall to embrace fresh fish.
