New Year's Ornament Salad

This colorful salad will be the centerpiece of your holiday table! Tasty, vibrant, and pretty, it's shaped to look like a Christmas-tree ornament. If you don't have any pickled mushrooms on hand, use pickles instead — they work great too. And in place of canned tuna, you can use another canned fish; it'll be just as delicious.
