If you have
a can of tuna, you have all you need for the makings of a meal. This time I did a Tuna Salad with Cherries.
I just
prepared some salad items I had in the fridge and put them into a bowl with the
tuna chunks. I used ½ a red onion,
sliced. ½ a camembert cheese (torn into
chunks). Some gherkin chopped up. Part of a red bell pepper chopped. A chopped tomato (with most of the seeds
squeezed out first). The sliced bottom
of a couple of spring onions (scallions) – keep the sliced green tops for
garnish.
When it was
all on the plate I popped a pile of pitted cherries (bottled ones) on the top
and drizzled the whole thing with a dressing before scattering the green spring
onion slices on top.
For the
dressing I just mixed a bit of the cherry juice from the jar the cherries came
in, some crème fraiche, some hot chilli jam, salt and pepper.
I also
dotted some horseradish sauce around and some chutney.
Fresh and
yum.
Made me very hungry!!

The cherries are an unexpected, but I'm sure tasty, addition. I always have a can of tuna on hand!
ReplyDeleteI put tuna on my tossed salad all the time -- it's a great light summer dinner. Cherries are great -- so are grapes and oranges.
ReplyDeleteSee, that's my kind of meal. You and I would get along swimmingly. My husband would arch an eyebrow at a tuna based salad but I love them.
ReplyDeleteThis looks tasty and such a unique combination.
ReplyDeleteWell, that sounds like a good way to brighten up tuna salad. Perfect for hot summer weather.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about putting cherries in a salad. Well, I've used dried cherries, but not the sort you used. Actually sounds very good. And it looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteThe salad sounds good, but that dressing sounds even more so! I will have to try your combination of ingredients.
