Recipe: Sweet Hot Tuna Salad with Grapes
[1]Summary: This is not your mother’s tuna salad! Spicy, sweet, crunchy and packed with flavor and texture, this is perfect atop greens or tucked between toasted bread for a sandwich.
Ingredients
- 3 (5-ounce) cans Bumble Bee® Prime Fillet® Albacore Tuna with Jalapeños & Olive Oil [2]
- [3]2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 3 ribs celery, finely diced
- 1 cup halved Red Muscato grapes [4]
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- Lettuce: mix of spinach and arugula, or your choice of greens
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add tuna and its oil, and mayonnaise. Mix to combine and slightly break up the tuna. (I do this in my KitchenAid Mixer on low, for a few seconds, but you can do it by hand; suit yourself.)
- Add celery, grapes and shallot, and stir by hand to combine.
- Place clean greens on a plate, and pile tuna salad atop, or make a sandwich out of this by toasting bread and packing the tuna salad between slices of bread. Your choice!
- Serves 4.
