Ingredients
-
TUNA
1 (12 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained
SALAD
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle (Mt. Olive Zesty Garlic Dills)
2 tablespoons minced fresh baby dill
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
1 tablespoon snipped green onion top
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh flat leaf parsley
2 teaspoons imported non-pariel capers
DRESSING
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (Meyer lemon)
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (Meyer lemon)
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Preparation
-
DRAIN 12 ounces solid white Albacore tuna; SET aside.
CHOP all SALAD ingredients to specifications.
WHISK the following DRESSING ingredients in a medium bowl: 1/2 cup real mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.
STIR in the tuna; BREAK up tuna with a fork until desired consistency is reached (I like mine slightly chunky).
FOLD in remaining SALAD ingredients until mixture is evenly blended (1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles (Mt. Olive Zesty Garlic Dills), 2 tablespoons minced fresh baby dill, 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon snipped green onion tops, 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh flat leaf parsley, and 2 teaspoons imported non-pariel capers).
SERVE on your favorite bread, or serve on a bed of lettuce, with vine-ripened tomatoes, ripe avocado, and a light Italian vinaigrette, garnished with a whole black olive and a sprig of fresh dill or parsley if desired; ENJOY!
