From Mr. Food

 

We've added a bit of "crunch" to this classic tuna salad recipe, which, in our opinion, makes this Crunchy Tuna Salad one of the best ones out there! We've even mixed in a few of our other favorite veggies which really adds another layer to this tasty dish. Serve it up for a light lunch, and you'll love how full you feel just from eating a salad! Plus, it uses good-for-you fish too, so you can work all of those healthy vitamins into your diet.

 

• 1 (12-ounce) can white tuna in water, drained
• 1 cup frozen petite green peas, thawed
• 3/4 cup chopped celery
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (10-ounce) package mixed salad greens
• 3/4 cup chow mein noodles

 

1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
   
   
2. Serve over greens, and sprinkle with chow mein noodles.
   
   

 

***This is a great salad to serve with Melba toast or plain or garlic-flavored bagel chips. It's also good served between 2 slices of multigrain bread. It's a winner any way you choose!

On May 25th each year, wine lovers everywhere pour a glass of their favorite wine to celebrate National Wine Day.

Made from fermented grapes or other fruits, wine is an alcoholic beverage. During the fermentation processes, yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes converting it into alcohol.  Different grapes produce different wines.  Winemakers will combine different wines to create more complex flavors.  Wines made from fruit or honey are often named according to the variety of fruit used.

Red wine varietals produce deep ruby reds as well as subtle ambers and browns. Their beautiful colors hint at the coming change in the season. With that, we can look for delicious menu changes, too. Besides, what better way to enjoy a great bottle of wine than by pairing it with excellent company and food.

Winemakers produce white wines from grapes with light yellow-green skins or light red skins. However, it’s not the color of the grapes that give the wine its color. It’s the tannins in the grape skins that color wine red and also the flavor. White wines are generally sweeter than red wines and are best served chilled. Most red wines are served at room temperature. However, a sweet red should also be chilled for the best flavor.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Reminisce with family and friends over a glass of wine.  Enjoy wine with a favorite meal.

Wine improves with age............. the older I get the better I like it! 😁
