    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
