Recipe Reviews

After reading the comments at The Kitchn website, I decided to make a chicken salad version of this recipe using chopped scallions instead of chives and adding the merest smidgen of tarragon. Like QS, I served this on a ciabatta roll. I wish I'd had a tomato to slice up and add to the sandwich. Still, we liked it very much as a light and healthy summer dinner on a hot day. A well-chilled glass of sauvignon blanc made a nice pairing.

A light crunchy tuna salad -- perfect for a hot summer day. I was looking for a no-cook dinner, and this seemed like just the ticket. Canned tuna, lots of finely chopped cabbage, chives, mayo, yogurt, salt and pepper. It seemed a bit bland at first, so I also added some green onions and vinegar.

I served this with slices of tomato on a fresh ciabatta bed. This was a highly appreciated dinner, and one with high nutrients and relatively few calories.

Note that comments on the blog suggest adding cumin or sesame oil. I think those are good ideas, too.

Note also that the recipe calls for 5 oz tuna, but the small tins are generally 7 oz. I used two cans, and almost 3X the other ingredients. This was about twice what my family of four ate for dinner.
