I’m no fan of creamy salad dressings, mayonnaise or what-is-it-anyway Miracle Whip.  But I love the creaminess of Tahini in the homemade hummus my hubby makes.  So, with my jar of Living Tree Community Foods Sesame Tahini, I searched the internet for other recipes I could make with Tahini.  And I struck gold in finding a tuna salad recipe that used it instead of a creamy dressing.  I liked the overall nuttiness of it, and yes, felt I had something a little healthier than the normal tuna salad.  My changes to the recipe are in italics below:

Tuna Salad with Tahini  By Saad Fayed, About.com Guide

Ingredients:

1/4 to 1/2 cup tahini sauce, depending on taste (I used 1/2 cup Living Tree Community Foods)

1 6 oz. can of tuna, drained (I used a 12 ounce can, why go to all that trouble for one big sandwich?)

1/4 yellow onion, chopped (1/2 to account for more tuna)

1/2 tomato, chopped (one tomato, but I removed all the seeds so it wouldn’t make my tuna too wet.)

lettuce, shredded or whole leaf, whatever is preferred (preferred was something crunchy: celery.  Figure the bearded dragon we now own can eat the romaine lettuce I bought.)

We also added about 1 1/2 tablespoons of pickle relish, per my husband’s request.  My friend Claudia Sheridan suggested a little lemon juice to cut the density of the Tahini.  I didn’t do that, but I will next time.  The Tahini was easy to mix, but I like the idea of adding the lemon flavor.

Directions:

Chop vegetables, rinse and set aside. (I rinsed the veggies first, was I WRONG?)

Open can of tuna, drain and flake in a medium bowl. Add vegetables and desired amount of tahini sauce. Mix well until all ingredients have combined.
