Don't count out anchovies in that tuna salad you're making. |
What do you call a salad made from canned sardines, pink salmon and yellow-fin tuna -- tunaldine, salmunadine or sardunamon?
There are lots of other possibilities, but anyway you spell it, this is a far tastier salad than tuna alone. I've even used anchovies.
I add the water or oil to the bowl with the canned fish, plus lots of diced sweet peppers, onion and celery, though I didn't have the last one this time. The dressing is Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice and a generous amount of ground cumin -- all to taste.
A good proportion is one can of yellow fin, one of salmon and two of sardines, plus one of anchovies, if you dare.
This morning, I made my son a fish-salad sandwich on toasted whole-grain bread, adding a slice of cheddar cheese, organic spring mix, sliced tomato and hot sauce.
Later, for my breakfast, I piled four or five ounces of the salad on more organic spring mix, with my own dressing, reduced fat cheese, sun-dried tomato, Campari tomato and a little kimchi.
The one canned tuna to avoid is albacore, which is said to have the most mercury.
