Tricked Out Tuna
If you love tuna as much as I do, then you may be looking for some new ways to take it up a notch.
My good friend, Nancy, makes hers with lemon and dill…seriously delish!
I like to do a sweet and spicy version with crushed pineapple, red peppers and wasabi mayo. If you like wasabi and you haven’t discovered TJ’s Wasabi Mayo yet, go check it out.
And finally, the hubby has his own twist on tuna!
Lemon Dill Tuna Salad
1 can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
mini dill pickles, finely chopped
mayo (amount to your preference)
Squeeze of lemon
A couple shakes of dill weed (or fresh)
Mix together and serve on sourdough or by itself on a bed of lettuce.
Pineapple Wasabi Tuna Salad
1 can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
red pepper, finely chopped
crushed pineapple plus a tad bit of the juice
Wasabi mayo (amount to your preference)
This is great on multigrain bread (I like Milton’s)
Protein Packed Tuna Salad
(Jay’s recipe)
1 can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
Red onion, minced
Sweet pickle relish
Celery salt
Fresh groud pepper
Mayo (of course!)
All three are great with a thin slice of Swiss cheese, too.
Today I had the Lemon Dill on a nice big bed of Spring mix & veggies.
Couldn’t post this without mentioning Jessica Simpson…(“is this chicken?”)
Coming up this weekend…Slow cooked French Dip Sliders & “Everything But…” Chopped Salad

I love Tuna but have stopped eating it after my pediatrician told me about the amount of mercury in it. So sad, because before that we were having it like 3 times a week…
