I have never been a fan of tuna salad, but this afternoon I found myself looking in my pantry, and wanting something other than the standard beef or chicken. While rummaging around, I found some vacuum packed tuna that needed to be eaten.
I put this concoction together in about 1 hour (mostly for the rice) but was very pleased with the results (either it is good or my tastes have significantly changed).
Tuna Salad
1 package of vacuum packed tuna ( or 1 can packed in water).
1 cup of chopped celery
1/8 teaspoon of paprika
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 cup of miracle whip
Start by mixing up everything but the miracle whip (you can substitute mayo with 1/4 teaspoon of wasabi, but this works better). Once everything is well mixed, stir in the miracle whip.
Set aside.
Brown Rice
1/2 cup brown rice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups of water
Place in a small covered pot, bring to a roving boil, reduce heat and continue at a medium heat until rice is cooked to your liking (30-60 minutes).
Place rice in a bowl. Cover with tuna salad. Servers 2. A nice meal that stays with you.
