As you might recall if you’ve been around here for a while, I enjoy canned tuna with crackers. Without crackers. In patties. Let’s just say it: I enjoy canned tuna. LOL!
A few months ago I added a variety of tuna packets (not cans) into my grocery order just to see what they were like. The packets (pouches) are smaller than the cans, hence less expensive, but come in a variety of flavors in addition to a plain version. In addition to the plain, I got lemon pepper and a smoked pouch.
The other day I was in the mood for tuna salad with crackers and pulled out the last of my canned tuna and one of those pouches. In fact, I grabbed the smoked version.
After making my salad, I settled in for a leisurely lunch but was quite amazed at what I was eating. That smoked tuna added such a lovely flavor to the rest of the salad!
Who would have thought?
Needless to say I will be buying smoked tuna more often. LOL!
It is these little choices that can elevate a simple dish into something amazing. And, because they are smaller than the cans, these packets/pouches are less expensive, too.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
