Simple Tuna Pate

Be the first to review this recipe
Recipe by WarMaid

A long time family favourite, this tuna "pate" is thick and creamy, more spread than dip. Terrific appetizer served with a substantial cracker (such as Ritz) or a (fairly) healthy snack as a celery topper. Reduce fat and calories by using neufchatel style cream cheese and low fat mayo. This would also work with crab or salmon.
