Tuna Salad Made with Homemade Mayonnaise

Ingredients

• 1 large egg yolk (or 2 small)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup mild extra virgin olive oil - like our Ascolano 
• Salt and ground pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except oil in a food processor and mix until smooth.  While the processor is running, add the oil in at a very slow stream, blending constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.  Continue until emulsified and thick.

    

• 1 can solid white albacore 
• 1/2 stock celery - diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley - diced
• 2 tablespoons onion - diced
• 1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mustard - preferably dijon, but yellow is wonderful too
• salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• Great bread or bagels

In a bowl, break down the tuna, add in the celery, parsley and onion.  Stir until combined.  Fold in tuna and mustard.  Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

The better the bread - the better the sandwich - so go hearty!
