PESTO TUNA

I had tuna, but none of the usual ingredients I mix in. I found pesto in the back of the fridge. It's unusual I know, but we really liked the flavour combination, even my husband who hates trying new things :-) Note: the cook time is for refrigeration.

Steps:

  • Make sure the tuna is as well drained as possible, I squeeze mine in a sieve.
  • Mix with pesto and pepper to taste.
  • If you want a more"spreadable" consistency, mix in the mayonnaise.
  • A little lemon juice adds some zing if you like a more tangy flavour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 20minutes to allow flavours to meld.
  • Serve either as a sandwich or on crackers.

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons genovese pesto sauce, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, optional
1 lemon, juice of, optional
