Salsatunamelts Recipes

TUNA MELT

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
• Spread the bread out on a baking sheet and toast. Spread the toasted muffins or bread with the mayonnaise, if using. Top with the Tuna Salad and then the shredded cheese. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion, and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and season with pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, if using.

CANNED SALSA THAT TASTES LIKE FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare jars by sanitizing them in bleach water, or in a hot rinse cycle in the dishwasher.
• Wash vegetables.
• Chop Peppers and Onions with a food processor or blender. Dump in a very large mixing bowl.
• Add spices and vinegar to the mixing bowl.
• Add Lime Juice and chopped Cilantro (optional) to the mixing bowl.
• Core and chop Tomatoes with a food processor or blender. You can peel beforehand if you'd like, but I rarely peel my tomatoes for this salsa recipe.
• Strain the juice from the tomatoes before adding to the mixing bowl. I like to catch the tomato juice and can it to use in soups.
• Combine all ingredients. Taste with a torilla chip. Adjust the heat by adding more tomatoes (for milder taste) or more jalapenos (for a spicier taste).
• Fill jars with salsa. Wipe the rim clean, and top with a lid and ring.
• Process jars for 45 minutes. (adjust based on altitude)

SALSA TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• Toast your bread until it is light golden brown. (If it gets too dark during this step, the edges will burn when you put it in the oven/toaster oven later.).
• Drain excess liquid from the salsa if it is very juicy. Otherwise, the tuna mixture will be too runny, and the toast will become soggy.
• While the bread is toasting, mix the tuna, mayonnaise and salsa in a small bowl.
• Spread some of the tuna mixture on each piece of toast.
• Place slices on a foil-lined pan in the toaster oven and heat until tuna mixture is warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
• Top each piece with a slice of cheese, and put back in oven until cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!
