BEST Tuna Salad Recipe

Tuna Salad

This Tuna Salad recipe is one of my favorite quick salads made with mayo, dill pickles, celery, red onion, herbs, salt, and pepper. It’s easy to customize and tastes delicious.

Everyone who loves tuna should have a delicious go-to tuna salad recipe. It’s a quick, affordable, protein-packed meal when you don’t feel like cooking. You only need canned tuna, mayonnaise, pickles, fresh vegetables, and herbs for a tasty meal.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

I love to serve this salad on a lightly toasted whole grain bread for a sandwich. I also love my tuna salad sandwich with sliced tomatoes and crispy fresh lettuce.

How to make:
1. For this Tuna Salad, I recommend using a chunk tuna that has been packed in water. The tuna that has been packed in oil adds flavors and calories that aren’t needed here.
2. Drain the liquid from the tuna can. Then, add the tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, herbs, dill pickles, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl.
3. Next, stir all of the ingredients together until well combined.
4. Finally, enjoy the tuna salad simply on its own, wrapped up in lettuce, or in a sandwich.

Asian Cucumber Salad

Asian Cucumber Salad

This bright Asian Cucumber Salad is so simple and packs in delicious flavor! These crispy cucumbers are a light and cool salad that goes with almost anything.

Cucumbers are the star of this recipe. Their mild and refreshing flavor helps them pair well with the tangy Asian-inspired dressing, leaving you with a flavor-rich dish that has plenty of crunch. I have so many cucumbers coming from our garden this summer. We love cucumbers, and they are much more versatile than you might realize. This Asian Cucumber Salad is a great way to use up a lot of cucumbers.

Asian Cucumber Salad

Crispy cucumbers: sprinkle cucumber slices with sea salt and toss. Let cucumbers sit with the salt for about 15 minutes. They will release their excess moisture. Then drain out as much liquid as you can. Discard drained liquid. This will help make them crispy. Don’t ignore this step.

Mushroom Gravy Recipe

This is a rich and very savory Mushroom Gravy Recipe. The secret to any comfort meal is a flavorful gravy. And when you can make a delicious gravy from scratch, it becomes even more satisfying! It’s rich, decadent, and pairs perfectly with holiday dishes or everyday meals.

One of my favorite things about this Mushroom Gravy Recipe is just how easy it is to prepare. It comes together in less than 30 minutes. Once you realize how simple it is to put together, you just might serve it with everything.

How to make:

1. Add the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Next, add the mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Next, sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms with onions and cook, stirring until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the broth, half and half, and thyme and continue to cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Finally, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Mushrooms are great for you and they are full of vitamins. I love them and I cook with mushrooms a lot. Portobello Mushrooms are one of the most commonly consumed mushrooms in the world and are a source of B vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and copper. Read more about the health benefits of mushrooms.

There are a few prep steps to get the mushrooms ready:
1. Should I wash mushrooms to clean? Do no rinse mushrooms with water! Mushrooms are like sponges and will absorb liquid quickly. Instead, just use a damp paper towel to remove excess dirt.
2. Turn the mushroom over and remove the stem.
3. Finally, take a spoon and gently scoop out the gills. It’s best for taste and texture to remove and discard them.
