<\/a><\/div>\n

Another favorite, lacy, golden, dill blossoms, smell heavenly!<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Delicious dill is prolific now along with zucchini and cilantro…lovin’ it!<\/span> Our season is so short here that I enjoy every minute of summer’s goodness. I wanted a light salad, similar to Susan’s Chicken Salad<\/a>, and with dill from my garden I made this light and fresh Summertime Tuna Salad.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
It’s c<\/span>ool and yummy too and there’s <\/span>no need for a long how to here.  Just use what you have or like with <\/span>good <\/span>canned tuna…yup, it has to be quality, white albacore, water-packed. If it’s fishy, it’s a no go around here!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
I mixed albacore tuna, celery, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, red onion, dill and mayonnaise together with a little fresh lemon juice. I chilled it for about 1 hour and then served it on a bed or green leaf and romaine lettuce, garnished with dill blossoms, whole grape tomatoes, avocado and toasted sunflower seeds. This is one of our favorite summer meals ever! Hope you’ll enjoy it too. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
