Tuna Salad with capers and dill

Tuna Salad with Capers and Dill.  I know, I know.  Tuna salad… sooo boring. Well, here’s your chance to change that!  With just a few simple and fresh ingredients this recipe takes tuna salad to another level.  It is too easy not to give it a try.

Tuna Salad with Capers and Dill is one of my favorites for Breaking the Fast for Yom Kippur and for a brunch/lunch buffet.  You can make it a day ahead and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.  I often make Truffled Egg Salad as well.  I put out various gluten free bagels, crackers and bread along with a green salad.  It makes the set up for Breaking the Fast quick and painless (given that we are all really hangry at this point in the day, it HAS to be quick).

It is also very allergy friendly since you can choose what you eat it with and it doesn’t have gluten, dairy or tree nuts in it.  You can avoid egg by substituting a vegan mayonnaise.

I have also found that Target carries 100% pole caught wild tuna.  It is less expensive than buying a similar product from the specialty grocery stores.  It tastes the same to me too!  I am not paid to promote Target or it’s products, I am purely sharing this info because I have been happy with it:-)
