  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the tuna and peach mixture.

Notes

  • For a gourmet tuna recipe, use oil-packed tuna and substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter texture.
  • This tuna and peach recipe works well served over mixed greens or inside croissants.
  • If fresh peaches are not in season, you can substitute with canned peach slices, drained well and patted dry.
