Recipe du jour: Sweet n' Spicy Tuna Salad

This is my very own (original) sexy tuna dish that makes me smile. And it tastes deli sh! Serves 1 hungry beast or 2 mild appetites.

Ingredients
  • 1 can of tuna, chunk light in water
  • 1 sweet gherkin (it's like a pickle, but tinier and sweeter), cut up in little bits but not diced
  • 1 stalk of celery, cut up in little bits but not diced
  • 1 squeeze of a bottle of Horseradish sauce
  • 1 squeeze of a bottle spicy mustard
  • 1 squeeze of a bottle of Sriracha hot sauce (a chili hot sauce, go easy on this one if you're a wuss)
  • a couple of leaves of red leafed lettuce
  • 1 Roma tomato, sliced
  • salt
  • pepper
  • rosemary dried
  • garlic flakes dried
  • a couple of saltine crackers

Cooking Utensils and Cookware
  • can opener
  • spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board

Directions

Cut up the celery and sweet gherkin. Add can of drained tuna. If you've never drained canned tuna then all you have to do is open it like 90% of it with a can opener and while holding the lid, turn upside down and drain the water over the sink. Next, add drained tuna to the chopped gherkin and celery. Sprinkle salt, pepper, dried rosemary and garlic to taste. Mix everything together.

Rinse and drain red leafed and Roma tomato. Set aside of a plate for serving.

Now, add the wet ingredients to the tuna: horseradish sauce, spicy mustard, Sriracha, and mix everything so all of the tasty ingredients become one. Ooh yeah, baby!

Next, spoon the tuna stuff on top of the plate of lettuce and tomato. Crunch some Saltine crackers on top.

Yummy! Now, shut up and eat it, people!

With Sweet Sweet Love,

Jennifer
