Dirty Daves Tuna Salad Piquant Recipes

TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in a very hot saute pan and cook for only 1 minute on each side. Set aside on a platter.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime zest, wasabi, lime juice, soy sauce and hot sauce. Add the avocados to the vinaigrette.
• Cut the tuna in chunks and place it in a large bowl. Add the scallions and red onion and mix well. Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the tuna and carefully mix.

DIRTY DAVE'S TUNA SALAD PIQUANT

Steps:

• Drain tuna can into a saucer and feed the tuna water to cat. Scrape the can as clean of tuna as possible and place can on floor where kitty can lick up the remains. Mash the tuna with a fork until all chunks are broken up into fine pieces. Dice egg into small pieces and move to bowl with tuna. Add dill relish, green onion, sunflower kernels, and mayo. Stir up with fork until fairly well mixed. Sprinkle dry mustard over mixture and continue to stir until well mixed. Serve on sandwiches, or stuff tomatoes, etc. with this.

SMOKY TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Note: do not pour the liquid smoke directly from the bottle into the tuna mixture, as it comes out quick and is very concentrated (and will easily ruin and overpower your tuna salad) The smoke flavor is meant to be very subtle.
• Be sure to drain your tuna well.
• Mix ingredients together and serve as sandwiches or spread on crackers (I like Triscuit or Ritz).
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
