Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 3 in water no salt added 5 oz cans of white albacore tuna
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp mayonaise
- 1 tbsp light olive oil
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 2 stalks of celery diced or 1 large carrot shredded
- 4 slices of cheese diced
- *salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the 3 cans of tuna. Then take your fork and break apart the 3 cans of tuna into a medium sized bowl. Then in a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mayo & olive oil. This makes the mayo stretch farther. 3 tbsp of mayo is just under 1/4 a cup. Which is WAY less than a lot of typical tuna recipes. Also I love the zing this combo gives it :)
- Next add the mayo combination plus the mustard to the tuna and stir until combined. Then add in all the seasonings & lemon juice. Mix well until combined and then lastly add in the shredded carrots or chopped up the celery & the diced cheese. Then fold that in at the end.
- Lastly, choose how you want to eat it! Tuna melt as see above, crackers, open face with avocado mashed, stuffed in avocado, with cucumbers-- options are endless!
