Recipe story

Easy tuna salad — who doesn't love it, especially when sudden evening hunger strikes!

Ingredients

  • Canned tuna
  • Lettuce
  • White cabbage
  • Cucumber
  • Tomato
  • Grated carrot
  • Corn
  • Cooked pasta (shapes)
  • Sliced olives
  • Dressing:
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Oil
  • To make Alisar's Spanish omelette, here is the link the omelette

Method

  1. Chop the vegetables into medium or fine pieces.
  2. Arrange the vegetables, olives, and pasta in layers on top of each other without mixing.
  3. Place the tuna, drained of liquid or oil, on top.
  4. Prepare the dressing separately: mix the ingredients and serve it on the side rather than pouring it over the tuna and vegetables — this keeps the vegetables crisp.
  5. Serve the tuna salad chilled, with the dressing on the side.
