Tuna Crunch Recipe

Tuna Crunch Salad

If you’re looking for something light and refreshing to serve for lunch, look no further! 

Tuna Crunch Salad can be served either on its own, as a Jacket Potato filling or in crusty bread as a sandwich.

I quite like having a bowl of it in the fridge to nibble on when feeling peckish. If there are any ingredients listed that you’re not keen on feel free to leave them out. Add in whatever salad items you like. Just try to chop the ingredients so they’re a similar size to each other.

Ingredients
  • A tin of no-need-to-drain tuna or a can of tuna, drained
  • A stick or two of celery, washed and chopped into small pieces
  • A can of sweetcorn, drained
  • A fresh red pepper, washed and diced into small pieces
  • A fresh vine-ripened tomato (an ordinary tomato would do, but vine-ripened have more flavour) or cherry or plum tomatoes halved or quartered.
  • A small red onion, peeled and finely sliced *optional
  • A spring onion, rinsed, peeled and sliced into fine slices *optional
  • Cucumber, washed and diced.
  • Salad Cream or Mayonaise to mix
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Method

Prepare all the ingredients as described above

Put all the salad ingredients and the tuna in a bowl and mix well

Add a little Salad Cream or Mayonaise to taste

Finish with a good grinding of Freshly Ground Black Pepper and serve.

I love cooking! I'm hoping that by sharing some of my cooking wisdom, recipes and tips with you you'll come to love cooking as much as I do! When I'm not cooking and writing, I love spending time with my family and my cat and reading crime novels

Cooking Tips and Tweaks

You could replace one tsp of ginger powder with one tsp of ground cinnamon if you like

The addition of bicarbonate of soda and the hot water gives them a slightly more bubbly texture. If you don’t have any bicarbonate of soda to hand don’t worry about it as not all recipes include it.

Make this recipe vegan friendly by substituting dairy-free margarine for the butter. Make sure it is NOT a fat-free or low fat version as it will turn back to water and leave a soggy mess. 

 

Storage instructions

These will keep for a few days (theoretically at least!) in an air-tight tub or biscuit tin. We find that in reality, they’re so yummy they tend to last about 20 mins tops before they’re all eaten!
