COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNA & EGG SALAD (NO MAYO)



Completely Different Tuna & Egg Salad (No Mayo) image

Not your usual tuna or egg salad, this can be enjoyed as is, in a sandwich, on top of greens, or any other way that sounds good to you. If you want to add a touch of mayo for creaminess, go ahead- but it's plenty good without! You can change up the ingredients to suit what you have on hand, or what you like- chopped pickles instead of capers, oil packed tuna instead of water packed, different herbs, shallot instead of green onion... This is just how I first made it based on what was in my kitchen.

TASTY TUNA MELT, NO MAYO



Tasty Tuna Melt, No Mayo image

This tuna melt tastes incredibly rich and uses no mayo. It's a versatile recipe too. You can change the type of bread or cheese, spice it up or down, or even switch it to salmon instead of tuna, and it always comes out great. The lime juice "pre cooks" the tuna and makes it seem creamier, so you don't need any mayonnaise. It makes 4 sandwiches if your bread slices are small, but only 2 or 3 larger sandwiches if you use big slices of bread.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons lime juice (squeezed from one fresh lime is best)
1 (6 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, well drained
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 lb cheddar cheese
4 slices whole wheat bread
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1 ripe tomatoes, sliced (optional)
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
  • Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
  • Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
  • Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
  • Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
  • Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
  • (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
  • (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
  • Serve them while they're hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for high-quality tuna, eggs, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are set, about 10 minutes.
  • Flake the tuna well: Flaking the tuna will help it to absorb the dressing and flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to drown the salad in dressing. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad will help the flavors to meld and will make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This tuna egg salad recipe is a delicious and healthy twist on the classic. It's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and it's also great for packing in lunches. With its light and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
