Way back in the 1960's, I first tasted this stuff - I didn't know you could use tuna as a dip, but it worked! I've always liked it with potato chips, but you can health it up just a bit by using fresh celery sticks and zucchini sticks instead, and lite versions of the cream cheese and sour cream. Read more . If you've never tried this, and you like tuna, you may find this a nice change from the usual shellfish or onion dips (not that I'd ever give THEM up!). Ingredients:
8 counces cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (do not use miracle whip - it's too sweet) |
1 cup sour cream |
a shake or two of celery salt (not celery seed) |
a shake or two of garlic salt |
a dash of salt and pepper |
1 can albacore tuna, packed in oil (i've tried using the water-packed tuna, but it really leaves this dip blah ) |
dippers |
potato chips, bagel or pita chips, triscuits, etc. |
celery sticks |
zucchini sticks |
any veggie you think sounds good with tuna |
Directions:
1. Cream together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
2. Stir in the sour cream and seasonings.
3. Drain the tuna well, squeezing as much oil from it as possible; place drained tuna into a small bowl and use a fork to flake the tuna up as small as possible.
4. Stir drained, flaked tuna into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings as preferred.
6. Cover bowl well and chill several hours before serving.
7. Serve with dip bowl surrounded by dippers of choice.
