{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Summery Tuna Salad

 

SUMMERY TUNA SALAD

Use this fresh salad to stuff cherry tomatoes, top cucumber slices, or fill a whole-wheat pita. Or add a scoop to a green salad and turn it into a main dish. 

HANDS-ON TIME: 20 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME: 20 MINUTES
MAKES: 4 SERVINGS

KITCHEN GEAR: 

Colander 
Can opener (adult needed) 
Measuring spoons 
Cutting board 
Sharp knife (adult needed) 
Large bowl 
Large spoon 

INGREDIENTS

2  
(5-ounce) cans tuna packed in water or oil
2 tablespoons
olive oil (or oil reserved from the tuna)
1⁄4 cup
Greek or plain yogurt
1  
small cucumber, peeled (or not) and diced
2  
scallions, greens and whites, chopped
1 teaspoon
dijon mustard
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh dill
1⁄4 teaspoon
salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To drain the tuna: Set the colander in the sink, then use the can opener to open each can and carefully empty them into the colander. Using the fork, press down on the tuna to squeeze the liquid out. Allow it to drain away. 
  2. Put the drained tuna and everything else in the bowl and stir well. Taste the salad. Does it need more dill, another pinch of salt? If so add it, then taste again. 
  3. Serve right away or, if you can wait, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight. 

NOTES

We love the way dill and fish taste together, but you can always substitute a different herb if that's what you have or prefer. Or, in a pinch, chop up and use the leaves from inside a bunch of celery!
