My Family Tuna Salad

This tuna salad (spread) recipe has been in the family for a long time and we have adapted the recipe several times through the years. I have added gherkin to my version and it's so good you would like to eat it again and again. You can prepare nice little canapés, sandwiches or add it to a green spring salad.

Ingredients: 

2 tuna cans in olive oil or water

1  fine sliced gherkin

2-3 T. spoons finely sliced onion

1 T. spoon fresh coriander

1 T. spoon fresh parsley

Zest of of one lemon  + 1 t. spoon lemon juice

4  sliced kalamata olives 

6 T. spoons mayonnaise 

Pepper 

Remove the water or oil from the tuna and add into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix well.

This tuna salad is perfect to make tea sandwiches, tapas or on a green salad.
