Here is a different twist on the classic tuna salad sandwich. It's great served alone on a bed of lettuce or on crusty bread. It can be served at room temperature or chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 12-oz can of chunk white tuna in spring water. (If you have some leftover grilled tuna steaks, that would be wonder too!) shopping list
- 2 teaspoons of sweet curry powder (if you have your own special blend, that's good too!) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup of minced red onion (1/2 of a small onion) shopping list
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup of mayonnaise (1/2 cup will be more moist, but 1/3 cup will have fewer calories and less fat) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar (or 1 teaspoon of white vinegar mixed with 2 teaspoons of water) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of prepared dijon-style mustard shopping list
- 1/4 cup of chopped pecans shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1 dash of cayenne pepper (to taste) shopping list
