How to Make Chicken Tuna Salad

Drain one 5-ounce can of chunk solid white albacore tuna and 1 cup cooked chicken. Shred both thoroughly in a medium bowl.
Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple preserves, and 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish.
Quarter one medium apple (leave the peel on). Remove the core.
Stand each apple quarter on its edge and slice in half lengthwise. Separate and keep only the red-skinned halves.
Dice the red apple halves and add them to the chicken and tuna mixture, along with 1/4 cup raisins.
Mix everything thoroughly. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
