Mirin Marinade

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:26:49 -0500

This is superb on ahi or scallops to be grilled and served either on a salad or as a main course. Try it with the Pineapple Wasabi Aioli for dipping. Yum! It is enough for 2 good sized ahi steaks (3/4 pound total)or about 1/2 pound large scallops. Reserve an ounce to use as a baste during the grilling process to avoid cross contamination. -- posted by KauaiCarolAnn

This is a hit at BBQ parties! It is the unwritten rule that I bring this to any of my friend's parties. It is great in the summer and kids like it too! All ingredients are guesstimates and should be adjusted according to your preference. Note: for parties I usually double the recipe because it goes fast! Fast and easy to make, the longest part is making the noodles -- posted by MnGal

Three-color pasta, cubed cheese, tuna, and roasted sweet peppers blend into a spunky salad that we enjoy over 2 suppers during hot summer days. This is an excellent salad that I've served with or without cashews since sometimes I forget those.

I don't recall which of my magazines I got this from but it's favorite of mine. -- posted by Cher Jewhurst

This is a Yummy salad! Such fantastic flavors in one place! Super easy, low in fat, and eye appeal galore! I have read that by soaking the red onion in water for 20 minutes will tame it a bit, but I've never felt the need for it.

Summer Pasta Salad

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:39:04 -0400

This is the quintessential summer comfort food. When it was too hot to cook or eat a heavy dinner, my mother would often make this as a light summer meal. The leftovers taste great the next day! NOTE: Many of the spices can be adjusted to taste. I like to experiment with new flavors, like adding dill or curry powder. (cooking time is boiling the pasta and eggs, while prep time is chopping and mixing) -- posted by kolleen1021

Ceviche

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:57:58 -0400

Ceviche is a light and refreshing, chilled citrus-marinated seafood salad which originated in Peru. The acidity of the marinade denatures the protein structure of the fish, essentially "cooking" it. The result is a less fishy-tasting dish than other uncooked seafood. Note: Other types of fresh seafood (such as lobster, shrimp, scallops, octopus, etc) may be substituted for the fish, if desired. Always purchase the freshest seafood you can find, preferably sushi-grade. -- posted by Sephardi Kitchen

A quick no-cook salad that is a meal in itself. A great picnic or lunch dish for a summer's day. You need firm bread with a good structure for this salad as a softer loaf will disintegrate. If you don't have ciabatta, use any country loaf with a good crust, or pita bread. -- posted by English_Rose

This makes a great main dish in the summer, or can be used as a side dish any time. It makes a great alternative to pasta salads when you're trying to be carb-conscious, and is very high in fiber. Servings are based on use as a side dish, and cooking time is refrigeration time. -- posted by Felix4067

Published in Bon Appetit April 2009. For the longest time I wouldn't eat tuna salad because eating meat from a can just seemed gross! But one Friday night I was pressed for time and needed to make something for dinner for myself and my hubby. I randomly threw some stuff together and made a tuna salad which was surprisingly good.

Catherine Ann's Enticing Tuna Salad - the Longmeadow Farm

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:04:24 -0400

This recipe was saved from many years ago (35) when my then future MIL and I would enjoy a cool, refreshing "time-out" on her screened in porch. Never finding tuna in a can" or a tuna from "anywhere" to be especially great tasting, particularly to my immature palette (I was probably 19 yers.old) I would hem and haw about how I was already full, wasn't hungry, etc...etc...until one day, I thought I would take the plunge and just eat it. And it was as delightful as promised. Maybe it was the time spent with this woman that had such an impact on my life, maybe it was the summer breeze softly making the wind chimes "tinkle" in the distance, either way, I have loved this method of making this simple sandwich ever since. So with great fondness for a great woman, I present to you, the reader, Catherine-Anne's simply lovely tuna salad. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

Yellowfin Tuna Summer Salad

Could there be a more delightful dish to usher in the beginning of the warm weather season than a delicious, crispy salad? As an added bonus, this salad is as pretty as a picture and tastes as good as it looks! We have used both the Yellowfin tuna (also known as Ahi tuna) marinated in lemon dill and olive oil, and the one with roasted garlic in olive oil. Both are equally delicious. My husband and I have a newsletter publishing company and work from home. I came up with this recipe because I needed something crunchy and filling for a mid-day meal.

This is our familys favorite Nicoise salad. You can substitute canned tuna or grilled chicken for the grilled tuna. Change out the vegetables to suit your taste. The dressing is the best part flavorful enough to stand up to the potatoes and tuna, without overwhelming the greens. I like to use a mix of lettuces in this salad for flavor and appearance. Serving size is a generous plateful. -- posted by dianegrapegrower

I also used 1/2 teaspoon salt and decided to add lemon pepper seasoning at the end for flavor. Works great when you're hungry now and need something quick. Yummy! -- posted by AmyZoe

If you want a tuna salad fresh of a fishy or metallic taste - you need to drain the tuna. put it in a fine meshed colander; don't just drain if from the can.

After rinsing, put colander of tuna in the refrigerator for 30 mins while it drains. -- posted by Ceezie

This is the recipe I use for my family and its always a hit. I use an equal amount of finely chopped hard boiled egg added to a can of tuna (I prefer the albacore tuna). For those who don't care for a strongish fish flavor in their tuna salad, this'll do it for you. It truely is awesome. Enjoy! -- posted by Happy Hippie

Pepper Crusted Tuna, Mustard Sauce and a Pea Shoot Salad

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:30:56 -0400

This was adapted by a friend of mine ... who got it from a caterer ... who got it from a friend ... who got it from a magazine, who got it from WHO KNOWS where. Well you get the idea - then I got it. Regardless, I love it and have been making it for a couple of years and it certainly isn't difficult and I love that pea sprouts have become more widely available this days. The sprouts or also known as shoots and tuna mix nicely with the tangy mustard sauce to make a very easy quick dish to make. It literally takes 15 maybe 20 minutes to make. And agreed you will pay a little premium for the pea sprouts but you could also use other micro greens or spring greens, but you don't know what you are missing until you try them. And the tuna ... buy it when it goes on sale, that is when I do. This is rich in flavor but at the same time very delicate and well worth the extra money for a nice Sunday dinner or for company. Just add a soup to start and maybe some grilled bread to make a perfect dinner. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Curried Tuna Stretcher Salad

This is what I do when I have to make a couple cans of tuna feed a BUNCH of people. If you don't like curry- leave it out! It's still good. -- posted by Chef #1421935

Tropical Tuna Salad Supper

Recipe from Rachael Ray magazine (from this summer). If you can afford sashimi-grade tuna, you can skip the searing and serve it raw in the salad. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Italian Tuna Fish Salad

This comes from an old Saint Rocco church cook book. I am posting this as written, but adjustments in can sizes will have to be made because they just don't make the same size cans anymore. The ingredients may sound strange, but it really does taste good. It would really make a nice lite lunch. -- posted by Naturelover

Just something random from what I had in my fridge, but it's pretty good, so I thought I'd share. Also, if you have kitties, they love the leftover tuna water! -- posted by vpetite

Kristen's Kickin' Quinoa Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:29 -0500

I was recently sold on quinoa and how awesome it is! Gluten free, an almost perfect protein, easy to prepare, the list goes on! This is a combination of two recipes, one of which I altered. The first is from this site, (#16399, Quinoa-Toasted). The second is from Allrecipes.com (Caron's Kickin' Quinoa Salad), to which I made some changes. We thought it tasted a bit like sushi and loved it! Feel free to add more heat, but this had enough for our family as we've got wee ones. A large portion of the cooking time is cooling time. -- posted by SandwichQueen
