SMOKY TUNA SALAD

Smoky Tuna Salad image

Even with all the great Tuna Salads on Recipezaar, I did not see this one. My husband raves about it, and I do too. We eat this on toasted bread and lettuce, as well as on crackers; it would also make a great filling for pita bread or wraps. Hope you like it.

Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans chunk light tuna, well drained (or white albacore)
2 1/2 celery ribs, with leaves finely chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon dill relish (rounded)
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 lemon, zest of, very finely chopped
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke (very scant, I use Wright's Hickory Seasoning Liquid Smoke)

Steps:

Note: do not pour the liquid smoke directly from the bottle into the tuna mixture, as it comes out quick and is very concentrated (and will easily ruin and overpower your tuna salad) The smoke flavor is meant to be very subtle.
Be sure to drain your tuna well.
Mix ingredients together and serve as sandwiches or spread on crackers (I like Triscuit or Ritz).
Refrigerate any leftovers.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

12-ounce piece of smoked tuna
1 lemon zested and juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 kirby cucumbers, peeled
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Cut the tuna into thin strips or small cubes and dress very lightly with fresh lemon zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.
With a small spoon remove the seeds and cut the cucumber into "half moon" pieces. Make a dressing of yogurt and dill; season to taste with salt and pepper and toss with cucumber "half moons". Make a little pile of lemon dressed smoked tuna in the center of each dinner plate and surround it with the yogurt dressed cucumbers.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
If you don't have smoked tuna, you can use canned tuna that has been drained and flaked.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of mayonnaise to taste.
Chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, add a nice pop of flavor.
Serve the tuna salad on a bed of lettuce or arugula for a light and refreshing lunch.
Leftover tuna salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Smoky tuna salad is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its smoky flavor and creamy texture, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
