Recipe: Mediterranean Tuna Salad

With Carrots, Cherries, Feta & Green Beans

If you’re making the same old tuna salad recipe, break out of the box with this unusual combination of ingredients that are a taste delight. If you don’t like feta, you can leave it out or substitute blue cheese.

• 1 cup cut green beans, cooked and drained
• 3/4 cup dried tart cherries
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
• Salad greens (optional)

Preparation

1. Combine tuna, cooked green beans, dried cherries carrots and celery in a medium bowl. Add salad dressing, feta cheese and Dijon mustard; toss gently until all ingredients are lightly coated.
2. Refrigerate, covered, 2 to 3 hours to allow flavors to blend. Sprinkle with pine nuts just before servings. Serve over salad greens, if desired.

Makes 4 servings (1 cup each).
