Smoked Tuna Dip

  • Smoked Tuna Dip

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 ounces tuna (albacore, yellowfin, etc., flaked (canned or fresh))
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke ((add more or less, to taste))
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

For Garnish:

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely diced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives (finely diced)

Cooking Instructions

  1. Use 

    an electric mixer or hand whisk to stir together the cream cheese in a  

    large mixing bowl. Add in the mayonnaise, flaky tuna, and the rest of  

    the ingredients. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.

  2. Add more or less liquid smoke, salt or pepper – to taste.
  3. Cover and keep chilled until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh herbs.
  4. Serve with saltine crackers or cracker of choice.
Note:  The cream cheese is easier to cream,  if you add the liquid ingredients and the mayonnaise to the cream cheese,  whisk  then add all other ingredients.

Note:  Add more Smoke and spice.   A bit mild for me.
