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 plat 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.
