This tuna and cream cheese salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty, and one or two other vegetables, fruits, or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after tasting cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 ounces cream cheese , softened, or as needed
- 2 cans solid white tuna packed in water , 5 ounce
- 0.5 carrot , finely chopped
- 0.25 cups diced red bell pepper
- freshly ground black pepper to taste

This is the old German recipe ... belonged to my mom-in-law at the time. I've been baking these for the past 30+ years! It remains a family favorite!! Look for a springerle rolling pin in antique stores.
Easy Vanilla Ice Cream
Just milk, sugar, and vanilla. This vanilla ice cream is so easy and tastes just like snow cream. This is designed for an old-fashioned ice cream maker that yields 1 gallon; be sure to scale the recipe down if you have a countertop model.
