½ cupmayonnaise

½ cupsour cream

or full-fat Greek style plain yogurt

1 tfresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1

1. Empty the can of tuna in a food processor or blender (If you used tuna packed in water instead of oil, add about a ½ tablespoon of good extra virgin olive oil to compensate.)

Step 2

2. Add mayo and sour cream/yogurt, lemon juice, good pinch of salt, and grinding of black pepper.

Step 3

3. Blend to your desired consistency. (If using as a sauce for meats or salad dressing, blend it super smooth. Leave it a little coarser for a dip or pasta sauce and double the amount of tuna if you want to use it as a spread.)

Step 4

4. Taste for seasoning and add more lemon, salt, or pepper to your taste.

Step 5

Now it's time to play! Once you master the basic recipe (and how easy is that?), consider adding other flavorings, such as: 1 clove of garlic ½ a shallot 1 teaspoon capers 2 anchovy fillets 1 pinch red pepper flakes 1 dash hot sauce

Step 6

Store for up to a week in the fridge. Let come to room temp for 30 minutes to an hour and taste again for seasoning before serving.
