Home Made Warm Tuna Salad Recipe
[Recipes]
My home-made warm tuna salad is quick and easy to make. The taste may be a bit too simple for some people, but it’s good and healthy comfort food which I like.
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
1 head Romaine lettuce
1 can of tuna
1 Poached Egg
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 ½ Tbsp. Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
Croutons
Cheese to garnish (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
1. Separate the leaves of the lettuce and wash thoroughly. Put them in a colander (or use a salad spinner) to drain as much water off them as you can.
2. Shred the washed and dry lettuce into bite sized pieces and put them into 2 large bowls.
3. Open the can of tuna and drain the brine/water/oil out of the can. Once done, shred the tuna into a microwavable bowl and put in the microwave on high for about 20-30 seconds to heat thoroughly.
4. Mix the tuna with the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise and a little bit of pepper until it has spread evenly. Heap the tuna in even piles on the 2 bowls of lettuce.
5. Poach 2 eggs in rolling, boiling water. If you’re not sure how to poach an egg, read more about it here.
6.Place 1 egg on each of the 2 piles of tuna, thinly slice some cheese with a fruit peeler on top of the egg and spread your croutons (I just toasted bread until it was golden brown and hard before shredding it into bite sized pieces) on top.
7. Lightly drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil evenly over each bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Enjoy.

Very nice, simple and straight forward recipe …
For me SOMEHOW a salad won’t work without salad dressing (vinaigrette – dunno spelled correctly or not =)). There are HUNDRED types of vinaigrette and with that dijon mustard sitting up there, man i would have made a Honey mustard Vin. dress it with the salad
btw usually after washing, just take a blow dryer and blow dry your veg. yeah i know it’s a bit extreme =) i just don’t really like WET salad

Xin: glad you liked it =)
Pink P.: Give it a try and let me know if you like it or not, it’s a very simple recipe, maybe a little too simple for some people’s taste buds…
Demsi: A Vinaigrette is really simple to make, Dijon mustard to taste, 1 part balsamic vinegar/red wine vinegar to 3 parts olive oil, then add salt and pepper to taste and mix.
Wah, BLOW DRY ur salad? haha that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that method before… I think I’ll go buy a salad spinner one day instead.

We have to improvise if we don’t have salad spinner … Yeah should buy one day …heheheh …
Yeah your recipe it’s also another simple vinaigrette. you can add extra kick by putting some lemon juice and zest to give it an extra kick
We must sit one day to have a RECIPE chat =)

Demsi: RECIPE chat… like we are some cooking masters, haha… but yeah definately we should have a recipe chat one day.
Jason: yup you definately can, but just be careful not to put too much in or it will make the salad too sour. Unless you like that of course, then put as much as you want… haha.
