We recently joined a CSA and have been drowning in a sea of cabbage for the last three weeks. Seriously, I have started eating cabbage at almost every meal. I have put it in smoothies, salads, sandwiches, and stir fry. One of the most satisfying new cabbage recipes is a crunchy tuna salad. Adding cabbage gives the tuna salad a great texture and adds a lot of good nutrition.
Here is the recipe I loosely follow
Ingredients:
One 5-ounce can tuna, drained
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/4 cup minced chives or onions
1 pickle chopped into very fine pieces
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/4 cup minced chives or onions
1 pickle chopped into very fine pieces
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yogurt
3 tablespoons yogurt
1 tablespoon honey mustard or regular mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Shred the tuna with a fork and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust this recipe as you wish. I will even add some cajun seasoning to this for a little extra "kick."
To make a tuna "melt" I assemble this on a everything baglethin, top with a tomato (also from our CSA) and you can add cheese if you like. ( I do not like cheese and fish together but love this sandwich warmed under the broiler) Put under broiler until the edges of the bagel turn brown.
The remaining tuna salad can be refrigerated for up to two days.
This recipe is really good! I'd say it's my favorite way so far to use my CSA cabbage - thanks for the awesome idea!
