Notes:

• This is super-simple to make and tastes fantastic!
• My aunt Caroline used to make this for me and my cousins when I was a kid and I thought it was the last word in sophistication.
• Because there are so few ingredients, it’s really important to use good ones – splurge on a good tin of tuna like John West or Sirena.
• Don’t be tempted to leave the gherkins out because you think your kids won’t eat them. the gherkins are what makes this salad a superstar dish.
• This recipe was created by Ella Walsh for Kidspot, New Zealand’s best recipe finder.
