This is really delicious, especially if you are low-carbing it. It's a great alternative to "plain" tuna salad. Can be used as a dip for celery sticks, spread on celery stalks, or stuffed in cherry tomatoes. Prep time does not include chill time, since you can leave it in the fridge for longer than the one hour mentioned in the recipe.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna
3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2-1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 dash salt
2 green onions, finely sliced

Directions

1
Soften the cream cheese for about 1 hour.
2
(I usually just give it a whirl in the microwave for about 20 seconds) Drain the tuna, mash with a fork.
3
Combine the cream cheese, tuna and mayo.
4
Add the lemon juice, curry and salt.
5
Mix to blend well.
6
Add the onions and stir to blend.
7
Chill for 1 hour for the flavors to blend.

Great method! We wanted a heartier tuna mixture and found the perfect ratio to be one can of tuna to two ounces of cream cheese. For our family, two cans of tuna to a half block of cheese yields the right amount. The wonderful benefit of this cream cheese base is that the spread does not get runny! The tuna was just as good, and possibly even better, on day three!! We omitted the curry powder entirely; we've also substituted candied jalapenos (or spicy sweet pickle relish) for the green onions. Thanks for another amazing idea!

Anything that makes canned tuna this tasty to my DH is worth 5 stars plus...I used 1/4 curry powder and doubled everything else...we arn't big in curry and I figured I could always add more...I think next time I will leave it out all together...the lemon juice is a nice touch...don't serve this right away...I made it Friday afternoon for Shabbat day...the flavor was so much better the day after making it...I loved it on challah, DH devoured it on onion matzoh...I'll be making this over and over again...thanks for posting.

This is great. I'm sitting here typing with a bowl of the dip and celery in front of me. I didn't use the same seasonings but once you've combined the tuna, cream cheese, mayo, and green onion I think the other spices are all to taste. YUMMY. And LOW CARB!!!

Tasted great! I put some pepper sauce to give it a little more flavour, but it definitely tasted even better the next day! Leaving it to sit so that the flavours can blend is a good idea.
