Day 9 Salad 9 - My Mimi's Tuna Salad on Toast

As promised: My Mimi's Tuna Salad on Toast

This is the tuna salad that my Mimi (maternal grandma) made for me as a little girl. It's still my favorite recipe.
Ingridients:
1/2 c Tuna flaked
1 Tbs lemon juice (can substitute pickle juice)
1 Tbs mayo
1 Tbs sweet relish
1/4 c onion (fine dice)
1/4 c celery (fine dice)
1/4 c shredded carrot

Just mash it all together in a bowl. Then mound it up on toast. I used a slice of the gluten-free French bread I made yesterday. You could use a nice Keiser roll- that would be perfect. I would also add a thick slice of tomato if I had one and some light leaf lettuce.

Day 5 Salad 5 - Curry Carrot Apple Slaw

I was in the mood for a sweet and savory salad tonight.

Ingredients:
4 c shredded carrots
2 c shredded peeled red apple
1/4 c dried cranberries
1/4 c pecans
2 Tbs mayo
1 Tbs red wine vinegar
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp hot horseradish

This is very satisfying if you are Jonsing for curry. I dig the sweet and spicy thang too. I am a big fan of horseradish too. I love to add it to slaws. I could have eaten 2 bowls of this.
