SWEET AND SPICY TUNA SALAD

This is a fresh alternative to the tired tuna salad. A unique, yet pleasant mixture of flavors. Also, you can adjust ingredient amounts for a personalized taste. I like it sweet with a bite. You can also use 1 slice of jack or favorite kind of white cheese to melt on top. Use for a sandwich, with wheat or grain crackers for a snack or a twist for hors d'oeuvres at your cocktail party.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 can(s) tuna in water drained
1 celery stick diced
1/4 onion diced
3 Tbsp sweet pickled relish
2 Tbsp fat free mayo
CHIPOTLE MAYO
1 c fat free mayo
1 lime juiced
2 chipotle peppers in a can
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
TOPPINGS
1 pineapple peeled and sliced
lettuce any kind you like or can find.
bread toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Drain your tuna pretty well. Add mayo and mix. Add chopped onions, relish and celery. Peel your pineapple (it has to be fresh. You can use can but it just wont taste the same). Cut the pineapple into rings and take the core out.
  • 2. In a blender add mayo, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, salt and olive oil blend until well combined. Start toasting your bread (you can use any bread you like).
  • 3. To assemble sandwiches all you do is slather bread with the spicy mayo onto both pieces. Add as much tuna as you like. I like to make mine fat. Add a ring of pineapple on top with some lettuce and top with the other piece of bread. Cut the sandwich in half or quarters what ever you like. These are great party foods or finger foods.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna: Opt for solid white albacore tuna packed in water for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose fresh vegetables: Crisp celery, crunchy carrots, and sweet red onion add a delightful crunch and freshness to the salad.
  • Use a flavorful mayonnaise: A good-quality mayonnaise is essential for a creamy and flavorful salad. Look for a brand that uses cage-free eggs and has a rich, tangy taste.
  • Add a touch of heat: Sriracha or cayenne pepper adds a subtle spiciness that complements the sweetness of the tuna and vegetables.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh parsley or dill adds a pop of color and a herbaceous flavor to the salad.
  • Chill before serving: Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy tuna salad is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether you serve it on a sandwich, a bed of lettuce, or as a dip with crackers, this salad is sure to be a hit. With its combination of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors, it's a perfect choice for a quick and easy lunch, dinner, or snack. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this sweet and spicy tuna salad a try.
