Remember a good cook doesn’t always follow a recipe perfectly. Creativity plays a big part. I was using a traditional recipe for years and decided to TRY something different with ingredients I had available. Hope you enjoy this one and I dare you to try a new spice.

Coconut-Tuna, Walnut Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1–2 (7 ounces) cans tuna
  • 1/2 cup roasted walnuts, chopped (Roast for 10 minutes on cookie sheet at 350degrees. Cool and then chop.)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh peppermint, finely chopped
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced small
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 to 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise*

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Serve immediately or chill, then serve over spring mix, romaine, or in 1/2 avocado. Delicious, fresh, different.
