Feinkost Thunfischsalat

(A Creamy German Deli Tuna Salad
with Sweet Corn, Peas & Garden Vegetables)

 

Makes about 4 cups (950 ml)

Ingredients

2 cans (5 oz/142 g each) tuna packed in water, well drained

1½ cups (360 ml) Feinkost Creme

½ cup (75 g) corn kernels, drained

½ cup (70 g) peas, thawed if frozen

¼ cup (40 g) finely diced red bell pepper

¼ cup (40 g) finely diced green bell pepper

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

2 tablespoons (6 g) finely chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice

Freshly ground white pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. Drain the tuna well and flake it into a large bowl, leaving some larger pieces for a rustic deli-style texture.
  2. Add the Feinkost Creme, corn, peas, red and green peppers, chopped eggs, chives, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  3. Gently fold everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated without breaking up the tuna too much.
  4. Season with white pepper and salt to taste.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Serve on slices of fresh Mischbrot, Roggenbrot, or crusty Brötchen as part of a traditional German Abendbrot.
