There are 2 spaghetti salads that I have been repeatedly cooking for decades. One is ‘Spaghetti, Cabbage & Apple Salad’ and the other is this ‘Spaghetti, Cucumber & Tuna Salad’. I always use Canned Tuna in Brine for this salad. If you use Canned Tuna in Water, you need to adjust the amount of Salt.
