    Great recipe, I didn't have Tabasco, so used Frank's hot sauce and it was delish. Otherwise I modified this to include a yellow pepper, some diced jalapenos, red onion. Let sit overnight. This is a very tasty way to sass up the humble tuna :) Thanks for the inspiration, and the recipe....

    Southwest Tuna Salad,I just LOVE tuna! It’s so fun to open a can and make a recipe up. This one turned out so flavorful and yummy… just popping with flavors. I also love a versatile recipe. You can enjoy this atop a bed of lettuce, rolled in lettuce leaves, in a wrap, in a sandwich or my favorite as a melt! I spread some of this on some whole grain sourdough and sprinkled some lowfat cheddar on it…stuck it in the broiler for a few minutes and WOW! The tangy sourdough went really well with it. I can also imagine this with pasta added for a cold pasta salad or as a hot tuna casserole…YUM! I think I’ll be making it every which way I can think of because the flavor is soooo DELISH! If you prefer a non-creamy salad just cut the mayo and sour cream and you might increase the lime juice and perhaps add a little bit of oil. If you want more heat add a jalapeno or two. Enjoy yourself and make it how you’ll like it.,Great recipe, I didn’t have Tabasco, so used Frank’s hot sauce and it was delish. Otherwise I modified this to include a yellow pepper, some diced jalapenos, red onion. Let sit overnight. This is a very tasty way to sass up the humble tuna 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration, and the recipe….,Super good! Really fresh tasting. Next time I’ll leave out the olives, personal preference.Used it as a sandwich filling on a sandwich thin with sprouts and the next day used it as a dip with tortilla chips. Delicious both ways. Thanks for posting.
