Notes

Substitutes:
  • you may use lemons in place of lime
  • If you don't have red onions use white
  • Tuna in water is ok to use too but we prefer packed in oil for this recipe
  • If you don't have any celery try cucumber or radish for some crunchiness

  • Place leftovers in a container and store in the fridge for up 2-3 days.
