1Clove garlic; minced
1teaspoonSalt

2cans(6 oz) light tuna; drained and flaked (i find that for casseroles and salads, the light tuna adds more flavor)

½cupSliced rupe olives

Directions

Source: Some women's day or good housekeeping from 12 years ago-an ad from starkist tuna and hellmans mayo.

Yield: 8 cups

In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover, chill.

Note: I always add the mayo last so that it is not overwhelming and I can add to taste.
