Bye Bye Fat Tuesday and Hello Lent......

Well, yesterday was a day to indulge in what ever you wanted. Whether you have that passion for something sweet, milky, silky, smooth, melt in your mouth creamy chocolate! Or you have that passion for something savory, crispy, crunchy, salty seasoned, bursting in your mouth gourmet potato chip! These sound so great, it makes me want to get up and get a snack now.  Unfortunately if you are doing lent, you have to give something you like up. My something happens to be corn chips. I love the salty, crispy chips.

Today I'm going to share my tuna salad recipe I make at home. This is very easy and you can make anything out of tuna.  Just use you imagination.

Tuna Salad Sandwich
Ingredients:

1 can tuna(any type, I use chunky white in water)
1/4 cup sweet relish(you can use diced up sweet pickles with some juice if not relish)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced onion(white or red)
1/2 cup mayonnaise(more or less to your preferences)
1/2 diced tomatoes(optional)
Salt and Pepper (to your taste)
Bread(of your choice)


In a large bowl combine tuna, relish, cheese, onion, mayo, tomatoes and mix. Salt and pepper to taste.
Then spread tuna salad on your choice bread and plate.  We often make tuna melts, where you butter the bread and place in a frying pan till crispy on the outside. Then I place the tuna salad in between bread and fry for usually less than a minute on each side. You can also  have the tuna salad  placed on a bed of lettuce with a side of dressing and garlic bread or crackers. How about a dip served with crackers or sliced baguette. A very light and healthy lunch, snack or dinner  idea.

Imagine all the possibilities with tuna. 

Remember, have fun and make it yours!

And that's the "DISH" for today!
