The author of the Enchanted Broccoli Forest and many other cookbooks, Mollie Katzen, has a recipe for Tuna Salad that is fresh and fantastic. The kids made it disappear quickly.
This was an attempt to get them familiar with something they could make at home - and though it has a couple of extra ingredients like apple and fresh parsley, it didn't seem too hard to recreate!
We served it on Wheat Thins crackers but it could make great sandwiches, or be the main feature on a salad. It would be perfect in an open-faced sandwich on toasted English Muffins.
See if you like it at home.
Ingredients
- 1 6-oz can of water-packed white meat tuna
- 1 large stalk celery, minced
- 2-4 radishes, minced (the kids thought they were spicy)
- 1 tablespoon minced red onion
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 3-4 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted (we skipped due to allergies)
Instructions
- Put the tuna into a bowl. Flake with a fork. Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
- Taa – daa! You are done.
