CATHERINE ANN'S ENTICING TUNA SALAD - THE LONGMEADOW FARM



Catherine Ann's Enticing Tuna Salad - the Longmeadow Farm image

This recipe was saved from many years ago (35) when my then future MIL and I would enjoy a cool, refreshing "time-out" on her screened in porch. Never finding tuna in a can" or a tuna from "anywhere" to be especially great tasting, particularly to my immature palette (I was probably 19 yers.old) I would hem and haw about how I was already full, wasn't hungry, etc...etc...until one day, I thought I would take the plunge and just eat it. And it was as delightful as promised. Maybe it was the time spent with this woman that had such an impact on my life, maybe it was the summer breeze softly making the wind chimes "tinkle" in the distance, either way, I have loved this method of making this simple sandwich ever since. So with great fondness for a great woman, I present to you, the reader, Catherine-Anne's simply lovely tuna salad.

Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
  • Cover and chill about one hour to blend flavors.
  • Serve on crackers, bread, or a bed of mixed greens.
  • Optional: You may also add to the above 1/4 cup sliced stuffed Spanish olives and/or 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna: Opt for high-quality tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil or brine, as they contain lower-quality tuna and often have a mushy texture.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and mayonnaise make all the difference in a tuna salad. Crisp celery, crunchy carrots, and aromatic dill or parsley add flavor, texture, and color.
  • Proportion is Key: Aim for a balance of tuna, mayonnaise, and vegetables. Too much tuna can make the salad dry, while too much mayonnaise can overwhelm the other flavors. A good starting point is equal parts tuna and mayonnaise, with slightly more vegetables.
  • Add Your Personal Touch: Experiment with different flavor combinations to suit your taste. Try adding a dollop of Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a dash of hot sauce. You could also incorporate chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced pickles, or crumbled bacon for added texture.
  • Chill Before Serving: Allow the tuna salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Catherine Ann's Enticing Tuna Salad is a delightful and versatile dish that's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or a light dinner.
