| Comments |
| • |
Instead of sea salt you may use Spike Original Magic. |
| • |
This is a leaner, more flavorful interpretation of the classical tuna salad. |
| • |
Stored in the refrigerator in a glass container and topped by a thin layer of EVOO the salad lasts for about a week. |
| • |
Glass containers are always recommended, as toxic chemicals from plastic containers tend to leach into conserved refrigerated food. |
| • |
It is important to sterilize the storage jars with boiling water and put them in a warm oven to dry. |
| Wine and Beverage Pairing |
