TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON

Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

Tuna Dip Recipe – This dip is a real crowd pleaser, and even if you don’t like capers don’t disregard this recipe.. You can’t even taste them. My 6 year old loves this dip, and I know he would never willingly eat a caper!!! The great thing about this is that is makes heaps, and you can spread left overs on sandwiches.
