Butter Bean Tuna Celery Seed Recipes

Steps:

• Cover the sunflower seeds with at least 1/4 inch of water and soak, at room temperature in an air tight container, for at least 24 hours. The seeds are ready when they have nearly doubled in size.
• Drain the seeds and pulse half (about 1 cup) with the lemon juice, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until almost smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add the remaining seeds, along with the dill, parsley, paprika, celery, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles tuna salad. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Fill a whole wheat wrap with lettuce, tomato, avocado and the vegan tuna salad.

Steps:

• Halve the onion and slice it as thinly as possible. Tip into a salad bowl and flake in the tuna. Gently stir in the butterbeans and cherry tomatoes.
• Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard together, then season. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and scatter the parsley over. Mix gently to combine and serve straight away.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the mustard & a drop or two of hot sauce, then slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Stir in the chives and season the lemon-mustard vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, gently toss the drained tuna with the sliced celery, butter beans and capers.
• Add the lemon-mustard vinaigrette and toss to coat the salad.
• Season the salad with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Steps:

• Bread-and-butter pickles:
• Pack cucumber, habanero, and dill into a heatproof glass jar; set aside. Bring vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, celery salt, mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt, then pour into jar. Cover and let cool; chill.
• Do ahead: Pickles can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.
• Tuna salad and assembly:
• Preheat oven to 425°. Mix tuna, celery, cucumber, onion, oil, lemon juice, mustard, chives, dill, celery salt, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise in a medium bowl; season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
• Place bread on a baking sheet and spread remaining mayonnaise over 4 slices; top with tuna salad and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Top melts with lettuce and pickles and close.
