I had two cucumbers, extra herbs, and tuna packets and this is what I came up with. It’s very easy to prepare and happened to come out delicious. There is one ingredient that most people will not have. Amora Mustard from France. Your tuna salad will come out different if you don’t use Amora…….It happens that Amora is the smoothest mustard that I have ever tried. Other dijon mustards are very harsh after trying Amora…….I’m guessing the easiest substitute would be any dijon mustard mixed with 1/2 mayonnaise…It’s pretty easy to find Amora Mustard on-line.

Ingredients for around 2 servings

2 radishes – thinly sliced

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

1 cup vegetable stock

2 cucumbers – remove skin, seeds, rough chopped

2 Tablespoons prepared horseradish (or to taste)

2 Tablespoons basil leaves

2 Tablespoons scallions

2Tablespoons dried chives

1 teaspoon sour cream

5-6 oz tuna fish drained ( I used two small packs. Each pack is something like 2.6 oz.)

1/2 apple – remove core, remove skin, small dice

1 Tablespoon celery leaves – chopped

1 Tablespoon fresh dill – chopped

1 Tablespoon scallions – chopped

2 Tablespoons Amora Dijon Mustard

Directions

Pickle the radishes. Bring the water, vinegar, and sugar to a boil. (you can do this on the stove or the microwave….It truly doesn’t matter) Add the radish slices and let them pickle on the counter for at least 30 minutes.

Made the cold cucumber horseradish soup. Blend together the vegetable stock, cucumbers, horseradish, basil, scallions, chives, and sour cream. Keep in the refrigerator to chill.

Make the tuna salad. Mix together the tuna, apple, celery leaves, dill, scallions, and Amora mustard.

Serve the tuna salad with the cucumber horseradish soup and garnish with the pickled radishes.

ENJOY!
