Tuna
Salad in Ramekins
Ingredients -- Pescaterian / Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian
This is more of a suggestion,
it's ludicrously simple, just an idea when brainstorming
lunch.
- Canned tunafish, drained
- Mayonnaise; mustard or ketchup if desired
- Cold veg to taste: Pickles, Olives, or
Celery diced and thinly sliced; small-diced tomatoes, etc.
- Cooked veg to taste: such as diced &
sautéed onions, diced bell peppers, etc.
- Chopped nuts, for example Walnuts or Pine nuts
- Shredded cheese
- Black pepper, other spices to taste
Mix together a hearty Tunafish salad with your
favorite add-ins, perhaps going a little light on the
Mayonnaise compared to making a sandwich. Fill
oven-proof ramekins with the mixture and cover the top with
shredded cheese. Certainly these could be served cold
as-is, but for variety you might warm them in the oven at 325
degrees F for 20 minutes instead. (That's why I advise
light on the mayo here -- so that the tuna cooks better and is
less liquid.) Some people enjoy add-in such as
cranberries or frozen peas in a tuna salad, but those are less
keto than the recommended ingredients.
