Tuna with Sun-Dried Cranberries and Lemon
Cranberries and tuna may sound a bit strange, but this tuna salad is very popular at Whole Foods Market, and rightfully so. It's darn good. This tasty tuna salad can be found at Whole Foods Market deli's most everyday.
If you can find them, use sun-dried cranberries. These are not the same as the sweetened dried cranberries you can easily find in most supermarkets. Sun-dried cranberries are not sweetened which makes for a very tart berry, so be prepeared. I have not always been fortunate enough to locate the "tart" sun-dried cranberries and have used regular dried cranberries in this recipe and this still turns out a nice tuna salad sandwich.
This makes a drier tuna than you may be use to, so adjust the mayonnaise according to your taste, but it is very good with just the minimal amount of mayo (I'm not a fan of mayo). You also want to leave the tuna a bit on the chunky side. So push aside those preconceived ideas of what is good and enjoy this different take on tuna.
Whole Foods Market Tuna with Sun-Dried Cranberries and Lemon
1 can solid white albacore tuna, drained (I used tuna packed in water)
3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
½ fresh lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
1/8 teaspoon unrefined sugar
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped sun-dried cranberries
Pinch of sea salt
Squeeze the lemon and remove any seeds. Combine the lemon juice, sugar and salt with the onions, and set aside. Drain the tuna thoroughly. Mix together all the ingredients immediately before serving.
Makes 2 servings.
