Let’s see if tuna canned is healthy to eat and how to make tuna dip.
Is canned tuna healthy?
Tuna is high in proteins and almost has no fat. Either canned or fresh tuna maintains these healthy properties and it is really important not to avoid this kind of fish. Even though many say it contains a lot of mercury (a heavy metal) if eaten in adequate proportions then it will not harm yourself. Canned tuna has a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
My daughter adores pasta with canned tuna. She can eat this kind of dish every day :)…
What mixes well with canned tuna?
Canned tuna mixes well with many ingredients. It is such a versatile ingredient that you can only make it taste better and tastier adding any other ingredient.
For example pasta pairs well with tuna. Red onion is one of the best partners to tuna. I adore pizza made with tuna, red onion, and cappers.
Avocado is also a great duo partner with canned tuna, especially topped on grilled bread and served with some white wine.
I think that canned tuna pairs well with many other ingredients and make one of the best combinations that should be tested at least once.
What can you mix with tuna besides Mayo?
Canned tuna can be mixed with cream cheese, oil-based dressing, Dijon mustard, some lemon juice, and of course mayo. For today I have mixed both mayo with cream cheese and have to say that it was fabulous.
How to make canned tuna dip?
For today I have made a dip for 4-5 people. I adore tuna dip, but because it is really hearty and satisfying, I adore it in small quantities. This is an appetizer, so we should not forget about the main course. Dips are great as snacks when I make parties, but besides these snacks, I make other more delicious dishes to enjoy. So, it depends on you how you want to serve it and how many people.
