Ingredients
No ingredient volumes? What's going on!
This is the case with many of my recipes and it's because I want you to use your common sense, intuition and own personal preferences.
Canned Tuna (or Salmon): Choose a high-quality canned tuna for the best flavour and texture. You can opt for tuna in water or olive oil, depending on your preference.
Greek Yogurt or Cream Cheese: Greek yoghurt offers a lighter, tangier texture, while cream cheese provides a thicker, creamier consistency. Both are excellent choices, so select based on your desired outcome.
Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a zesty, refreshing twist to the tuna "mayo", elevating the flavours beautifully.
Optional (but delicious) Extras
Black Pepper: A sprinkle of black pepper can add a subtle heat and depth to the mix.
Mustard: A dash of mustard can introduce a tangy and slightly spicy flavour, enhancing the overall taste.
Herbs: Feel free to add your favourite herbs like dill, parsley, or chives for an aromatic touch.
Instructions
Drain the Tuna or Salmon: Open your can of tuna and thoroughly drain the liquid. Transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl.
Add Greek Yogurt or Cream Cheese: For a lighter version, add an appropriate amount of Greek yoghurt to the tuna, mixing until you reach your desired consistency. For a creamier version, use cream cheese instead.
Lemon Juice: Squeeze in fresh lemon juice to taste. Start with a small amount and increase according to your preference.
Season and Enhance: If using, add black pepper, mustard, and/or herbs. Mix well to combine all the flavours.
Taste and Adjust: Give your tuna "mayo" a taste. Adjust the lemon juice, pepper, mustard, or herbs as needed.
Serving Suggestions
As a Salad Topper: Scoop a generous amount on top of your favourite salad for a protein boost.
