Tue, 09 Jul 2024 03:28:31 +0000

Refreshing Red Potato Salad - made with flavorful red skinned potatoes, a creamy, vibrantly lemony dressing, and fresh herbs. It's a traditional summer side dish that pairs well with all your bbq favorites.

Red Skin Potato Salad

This is a comfort food classic made with hearty, creamy red potatoes, dotted with the typical celery and pickles, and finished with a rich herby dressing to coat it all. The fresh lemon is a highlight here and the use of both mayonnaise and sour cream keeps it from feeling too heavy.

It's a simple to prepare side dish that keeps well in the fridge for several days and it's an ideal dish to serve on a hot day (trade in those baked potatoes for this!).

You can also adapt it to include other various mix-ins such as cooked bacon or hard boiled eggs (more ideas below), or just keep it simple without an extras. Either way this red potato salad is a summertime must!

Tuna Melt

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 05:13:06 +0000

The perfect Tuna Melt recipe! This amazingly easy-to-make sandwich includes flavorful sourdough bread (or other of choice), a creamy and herby tuna salad, rich cheddar and fresh tomato slices. It's the ultimate upgrade to a traditional tuna sandwich!

What is a Tuna Melt?

A tuna melt is similar to a classic hot grilled cheese sandwich but with the addition of tuna salad.

It's layered with a tuna filling made from canned tuna, along with shredded or sliced cheddar cheese, and optional tomatoes and it's all sandwiched between fresh bread slices that are slathered in butter (or mayo!). From there the sandwich is pan-fried until the cheese is melty, the filling has warmed and the bread has taken on a gorgeous golden brown, toasty and crisp exterior. The perfect crunch!

It makes one of the best lunches or a quick and satisfying dinner. And you'll love that it's made with simple ingredients, most of which you likely already have on hand.

Serve it with fresh fruit or vegetables and crisp, salty potato chips for the perfect finish.

Healthy Tuna Salad Recipe

I've been eating tuna salad for as long as I can remember. Grandma made it, Mom made it and now I'm hooked and I turn to it for lunch time and time again.

Canned tuna will forever be one of those things I just truly appreciate. It's easy to store, it's inexpensive and it is always perfect for quick recipes. It's also a great recipe for those watching their nutrition. Tuna is already protein-rich, but you could also stir in some hard-boiled eggs for a tuna egg salad packed with protein. Serve it with cheese and lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.

Of course, canned tuna is pretty bland as is but when you add some tart fresh lemon, rich and creamy mayo, and some fresh herbs it becomes something that's even fit for a fast dinner.

And who doesn't love those little bits of veggies dotted through for varied textures, flavor, and crunch? It's just simple food at its best! It's a great idea to make a batch to store in your fridge for a quick snack, lunch, or making a tuna melt.
