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 , 5 ounce
- ½ carrot , finely chopped
- 0.25 cups diced red bell pepper
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
