Ingredients
Tuna Salad
- 2 cans (5 oz / 140 g each) tuna, drained
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely diced celery
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Additional
- 2 Cosmic Crisp® apples, sliced
- Paprika, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely diced celery, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Arrange Apple Slices: Place the Cosmic Crisp® apple slices neatly on a serving platter. To prevent browning and maintain freshness, you can optionally brush them with a little lemon juice.
- Assemble Bites: Spoon a generous amount of the prepared tuna salad onto each apple slice, ensuring each piece is evenly topped.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle paprika over the tuna salad-topped apple slices for a touch of color and a slight smoky flavor. Serve the bites immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Brush apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and keep them looking fresh.
- Add chopped walnuts or other nuts for extra crunch and texture.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the apple and the creamy texture of the tuna salad.
