Pickled Zucchini

Spicy Pickled Zucchini Who has leftover zucchini from their garden?This is a delicious way to put it to good use (and it goes on the BLT you will most definitely want to make).

Tuna Salad with Avocado and Cucumber

The best tuna salad you’ll ever eat! I don’t make tuna nearly enough but when I do, I go big and I keep it healthy. 4 cans White albacore tuna, drained Light mayo, 1Tb Dijon mustard, 1-2 TB Lemon juice and zest, 1 lemon Avocado, smashed Dill pickles, chopped Cucumber, chopped Purple onion, chopped Pickled jalapeño, chopped Relish, 1/4 C S&P (Sriracha salt ) Combine all ingredients and refrigerate overnight. ETC. I hate draining tuna, so I toss all tuna into a strainer and push out the liquid that way instead of each individual can. emoji I actually made 8 cans of tuna this week so these measurements are a rough idea. emojiI love adding a big spoonful to lettuce cups, in a wrap, or on top of toasted wheat bread. Take out any ingredient you don’t like or add something you do. You can never have enough lemon juice or zest in your tuna salad! I crumbled the TJ French onion cheese on top which was a delicious way to add just a little bit of flavor.
