Festive Tuna Salad image

You could serve this as a 1st course for company; it is not your usual mayo/tuna salad. The addition of fresh mushrooms and green peas really does the trick. I usually make a lighter version where I will strain the whey out of some plain yoghurt in a sieve and use 1/3 strained yoghurt and 2/3 mayo. If using this method the yogurt must be drained really well. I add the peas when they are still frozen; they thaw quickly and I like them cold in the salad and they do not get mushy

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces tuna in water
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or low-fat mayonnaise, or mix of mayo & yoghurt as noted in desciption)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt & pepper
5 ounces fresh mushrooms, diced small (125 g)
1/2 cup green peas (125 g)
4 slices white bread (I served on the side with French Baguette)
2 tomatoes
3 tablespoons fresh dill (optional) or 3 tablespoons parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Flake the tuna with a fork; add mayo, (yoghurt if using lighter version), lemon juice. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fold in mushrooms and peas; if you add the peas frozen they will thaw quite quickly.
  • If using toast bread - toast bread and add a generous scoop of tuna salad on top; garnish with tomatoes and fresh herbs.
  • If using baquette - add tuna salad to plate and garnish with tomates and fresh herbs, serving bread on the side.
