Another 90 degree day. I hate, no despise, this weather. We're having a dinner salad again already. Usually get away with just one of these because Himself doesn't consider it "dinner'. He welcomed the suggestion tonight. I have 2 lettuces that I'll top with grilled chicken and shrimp, bacon, eggs, kalamata and queen olives, tomato.....LOTS of good and COLD items! We'll see what is hiding in the back row of the fridge and in the veggie bin. Chunks of the bread-on-hand to go along. Maybe a small scoop of yesterday's tuna salad at the side. And, probably, ice cream.

I've been craving tuna salad. I may make some up tomorrow for lunch! How do you make yours?
My tuna salad is like TJ Maxx - Never the same thing twice. I always start with mayo (not Miracle Whip - I think it's too sweet), chopped celery and hard cooked eggs, Lawry's Salt (the ONLY time I use Lawry's), mustard (usually Colman's Mustard powder), and fresh ground black pepper. THIS incarnation included lemon zest and fresh snipped chives. Sometimes I add Tabasco sauce or finely minced shallots or thinly sliced scallions or anything else that sounds good at the moment. If Himself likes a certain way he has to let me know right then. If he waits until the next day there's a pretty good chance I won't remember exactly what I grabbed! Let us know what YOU end up mixing, OK?
Grilled Pork Chops w/ pineapple-habanaro glaze.
Apparently we both get our tuna salad at TJMaxx, CG! Mine is similar, minus the eggs. Lots of sweet pickle relish, and chives, or scallions, or shallots or ?? Nuts, apple pieces, cleaning out the fridge.....
