Easiest Summer Tuna Salad

This tuna salad depends mainly on two things:  good tomatoes and good tuna.  Everything else is secondary if you get those two right.  Start with cherry tomatoes - the yellow ones are really sweet around here this year, and sometimes appeal to kids who aren't great tomatoe fans.  We snip them in half with kitchen scissors, much easier than trying to cut them with a knife, and easy for kids to do.

The tuna of choice is white albacore, in water.  You may have to try a few to find the brand you prefer, but I like large, firm chunks of fish that hold together when they come out of the can. 

A sauce of  half mayonaise and half plain yogurt gives the salad some moisture without going overboard on fat or getting too rich.  From there, you can add whatever suits you that day.  We had some leftover potato salad with some chopped celery, tarragon, imitation crab and the same mayo/yogurt sauce.  Mixed that in and voila: a perfect summer salad.
