4 large eggs
4 strips bacon
1/3 cup olive or avocado oil mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.

Categories Tuna

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 lb bacon
1 (6 1/2 ounce) packet tuna in water, may use canned tuna drained
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
black pepper
parmesan cheese

Steps:

Fry the bacon in a pan. When bacon is done, drain on papertowels.
Keep the bacon grease in the pan. (Note: You can reduce the amount of bacon grease you use if you so choose, just keep enough so it doesn't get dry).
Put the tuna and garlic in the pan with the bacon grease and heat over medium heat - stirring occasionally. Do this for approximately 5 minutes.
Season with black pepper (optional).
Crumble the bacon strips and place back in the pan with the tuna & garlic.
Heat for another minute or two.
Boil your angel hair pasta.
When pasta is done put into a large bowl.
Transfer your bacon & tuna mixture from the pan into the bowl of pasta.
Toss all ingredients to incorporate all the flavors.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality canned tuna. Solid white albacore tuna is a good choice.
If you don't have celery, you can substitute diced cucumber or red bell pepper.
For a creamier salad, add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise.
If you want a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich on toasted bread.
