Tuna Boats
Ingredients
- 2 cans favorite white tuna ((I love kirkland))
- ½ cups mayonnaise ((I love Helmanns))
- ¾ teaspoons Onion Powder
- ¾ teaspoons Fennel Seeds
- Celery Salt
- Cracked Pepper
- Adobe Seasoning
- 4-5 drops doTERRA Lemon oil (Only doTERRA)
- 1 drop doTerra Thyme oil
- Lettuce Leaves (I like Romaine)
Instructions
- Drain liquid from tuna cans and place tuna in a large bowl
- Break up into fine pieces (or chunky if you prefer)
- Add mayonnaise (do not mix in yet)
- Add all seasonings on top of mayonnaise - they tend to blend better instead of sticking to pieces of tuna.
- Be sparing on the "to taste" spices and add in after blending ~ You can always add not subtract!
- consistency - some people like it dryer than others (like my daughter)
- Scoop on washed lettuce leaves and serve
Note
I know... crazy to include a tuna fish recipe
but I have had some ugly sammiches in my day!
This is a very savory tuna salad - great on celery sticks and crackers.
Below is a sweeter tuna salad choice but I would use a saltier cracker.
Eliminate adobe, onion powder, Thyme oil and fennel seeds.
Add chopped celery, chopped onion, cracked pepper and a short shake of ground Thyme.
This creates a lighter and sweeter tuna salad.
