Tuna Dip, Anyone?

With all the tuna we can, we definitely make a lot of tuna sandwiches with tuna and mayonnaise. Sometimes we add pickles or celery or cheese. Sometimes we grill them toasty. This, though, is a great dip or spread recipe that rocks! Or so the kids say. Here's what you need from your cupboards and refrigerator:

1 can of tuna

2 tbsp chopped onion (scallions are great, too)

8 ounce pkg of cream cheese, softened (I prefer neufchatel)
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp horseradish
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Start by draining and flaking the tuna. Next, chop the onion. Next, beat the onion, cream cheese, sour cream, horseradish, salt and garlic until smooth. Finally, mix in the tuna until well-combined.

And the results! We like to serve it with crackers - notice the pretty paprika sprinkled on the top. Such a great appetizer. Also, we make sandwiches. This fancy one that Katie had for lunch was on a bagel with garden lettuce, served with fresh fruit.

My next tuna post will hopefully be Dorrie's Mac 'n Cheese with tuna. Yum.
