ALBACORE TUNA SALAD
As far as albacore tuna recipes go, this one's my favorite! Sweet apples, golden raisins, celery, nuts, tuna and a tropical taste of pineapple add up to a simply wonderful salad. And leftovers are as delicious as the first bite. Sometimes I substitute grapes for the raisins. -Barbara Moravek, Jay, Florida

Steps:
- DRAIN 12 ounces solid white Albacore tuna; SET aside.
- CHOP all SALAD ingredients to specifications.
- WHISK the following DRESSING ingredients in a medium bowl: 1/2 cup real mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.
- STIR in the tuna; BREAK up tuna with a fork until desired consistency is reached (I like mine slightly chunky).
- FOLD in remaining SALAD ingredients until mixture is evenly blended (1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles (Mt. Olive Zesty Garlic Dills), 2 tablespoons minced fresh baby dill, 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon snipped green onion tops, 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh flat leaf parsley, and 2 teaspoons imported non-pariel capers).
- SERVE on your favorite bread, or serve on a bed of lettuce, with vine-ripened tomatoes, ripe avocado, and a light Italian vinaigrette, garnished with a whole black olive and a sprig of fresh dill or parsley if desired; ENJOY!
Tips:
- Choose fresh and high-quality tuna. The fresher the tuna, the better the flavor of your spread will be.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. A good quality mayonnaise will make your spread creamy and flavorful.
- Add some diced celery and onion for extra flavor and texture.
- Season the spread to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill the spread for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the spread on crackers, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
