Curry Tuna Salad

Curry Tuna Salad

1 can of tuna, drained (5 ounce size)

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (see Homemade Mayo recipe HERE)

1/2 teaspoon yellow curry spice (I used Penzey's "The Now Curry")

1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice

1 large stalk of celery, small dice

2 to 3 tablespoons of onion, small dice

2 to 3 tablespoons of raisins

salt and black pepper to taste (start with a few pinches of each)

sliced raw almonds, toasted *

Except for the sliced almonds, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until combined. Taste for seasoning and add more salt/pepper if desired.  Top with toasted sliced almonds. Enjoy!

* At Sam's Club, the finely sliced almonds are less expensive than the whole raw almonds! Who knew!  To make your sliced almonds even crunchier and tastier, toast them. It's easy and just takes a few minutes.  Place some sliced almonds in a dry skillet. Heat over medium to medium high heat for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Keep an eye on them; don't let them burn.  The almonds will darken slightly and become fragrant.  After the toasted almonds cool, store at room temperature in a container with a tight fitting lid.
