You Can Never Go Wrong With Cheese

Say Cheeeeeese! Adding cheese to your favorite, but somewhat ordinary everyday recipes, livens things up a bit!

Today we’re doing just that with this Tuna Salad With Cheese Recipe.

Canned tuna is a staple in my diet, as it is for many American homes. I reach for it often for dips, chowders, sandwiches and most often to top a green salad. Mixing it up keeps this nutritious, tasty & cheap protein in my weekly meal routine.

Ingredients & Instructions

For todays Tuna Salad with Cheese I’m using cubes of cheddar. Go ahead and use your favorite cheese. You can cube it or shred it.

Tuna, cheddar, mayo & perhaps a bit of relish, celery, hard boiled egg or pickles if the mood strikes. Mix it up, serve it on a roll and you just made simple sandwich perfection.

Or serve it as a dip with chips & crackers. Try heating it up or broiling it – melted cheesy goodness. Perhaps lighten up the carbs and eat it in on top of sliced veggies, in a lettuce wrap or on top of a green salad. Any way you eat it – it’s delicious.

I love ALL the Heluva Good!® Cheese flavors! I always keep a few packs of Heluva Good! Block Cheese in my fridge to add to my favorite recipes or for a solid snack with BIG flavor.
