Chunky Basil Tuna Salad With Granny Smith Apples

This is one of my favorite tuna salad concoctions, savory and sweet, and a great way to take advantage of granny smith apples.Equally good over a bed of baby spinach or between 2 slices of bread.

Chunky Basil Tuna Salad With Granny Smith Apples

1/3 c chopped celery

1/4 c chopped shallot
