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, and then serve over spring mix, romaine, or in 1/2 avocado. Delicious, fresh, different.
