Summer Tuna Salad with Dr. Kracker

  • 2 6-oz cans of Tuna (I used the water packed Tongo)
  • 2 Kirby Cucumber (small pickling cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber, peeled)
  • 8 boiled Fingerling Potatoes
  • 12 Yellow Cherry Tomatoes
  • 12 Grape Tomatoes
  • ¼ White Onion cut into slivers
  • ¼ cup Flat Parsley, chopped
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Dr. Kracker flatbreads: Klassic 3 Seed or Seedlander, broken into smaller pieces
  • Balsamic vinaigrette with extra lime juice

Peel and slice cucumbers into serving bowl. Cut boiled potatoes into smaller pieces. Use fork to shred tuna into bowl. Cut both cherry and grape tomatoes into halves. Add slivered white onion. Add broken pieces of Dr. Kracker. Chop rosemary and mix into salad. Chop fresh leaf parsley and mix. Squeeze lime to add to dressing. Add dressing and lime, mix well. Top with freshly ground black pepper.

Serve with roasted chili peppers — any or many varieties, roasting in the toaster oven works fine. Serve with hummus, Kalamata olives and more Dr. Kracker.

In the words of Lydia, who submitted this recipe: “The salad lacks the crunch of the lettuce, and your crackers made it a perfectly balanced meal of textures and healthy ingredients.”

Thanks, Lydia, for sharing this recipe.
