This tuna spread goes well with everything! It’s perfect for spreading on crostini, canapés, and sandwiches, and it’s also ideal for accompanying vegetable crudités. This tuna spread, prepared with tuna and cream cheese, offers several nutritional benefits.

It’s an excellent option for those following low-carb diets, providing nutrients without adding many calories. However, it’s important to moderate tuna consumption due to possible mercury content, especially for pregnant women and children.

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon mustard or mayonnaise (according to taste)
  • 1 handful of chopped chives
  • 1 roughly sliced onion
  • Pepper to taste

How to make Tuna Spread:

  1. Open the tuna can, drain thoroughly, and place the tuna in a bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix well.
  2. Roughly chop the onion and place it in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, then add it to the tuna mixture.
  3. Add the strained lemon juice, chopped chives, mustard or mayonnaise, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to create a smooth spread.
  4. Transfer the spread to a sterilized glass jar, then store it in the refrigerator and use as desired.

Enjoy your homemade tuna spread!
