Tuna and Caper Bites image

One weekend while camping, my sister-in-law whipped up a simpler version of these tasty tuna bites as a snack. I decided to add capers, shallot, and lemon to make these elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party! I highly recommend using Mary's Gone Crackers® brand seed crackers; they not only provide the perfect nutty flavor, but they are also very crispy and sturdy, allowing these to be made an hour or two ahead of time.

I'm allergic to capers, so I used chopped pickles instead.

These bites are a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can of tuna in my pantry.

I used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to make these bites healthier.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The tuna was too dry and the capers were too salty.

I'm not usually a fan of tuna salad, but these bites were delicious! The capers added a nice tangy flavor.
