Smoked Tuna Spread

By dette

I keep my kitchen stocked witha few low-cost, nonperishable proteins that I count on for their ease and speed. Canned tuna is an absolute must for the cupboard because it's so versatil. In this spread, I mix tun with a few other pantry staples, including mayonnaise, sweet relish, and dried dill for a sophistacated-tasting spread that takes only ten minutes to make. Liquid smoke is a specialty ingredient worth buying since all it takes is a few drops to make a smoky impact (one small bottle lasts a long time). * Ten Dollar Dinners*
