If you think tuna salad always involves mayonnaise, prepare to have your mind blown! Canned tuna, or salmon if you prefer, is the perfect match for a light, bright lime and chili dressing.

This most basic combination of fat and acid carries the trout’s gentle smokiness to every corner of the dish.
This is one of my favorite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side as part of a more conventional meal.
This is a regular lunch or supper at casa mia.
Place the water, vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Boil for 2 minutes, remove from the heat, add the dill and juniper and refrigerate until cold.
