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

Easy Apple Pie
This easy apple pie recipe belongs to my mother. I make it all the time when I want a simple homemade pie. I love it! I often add a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling.
Chicken Florentine Pizza
Pizza at home can be just as tasty as one from a local pizzeria. This pizza gets a jumpstart by using a lot of ready-made ingredients, including the dough. The trick is how you cook the dough.
Classic Macaroni and Cheese
This is the classic baked Mac and Cheese of my childhood. You can add sun-dried tomatoes if you wish, or sometimes I substitute minced garlic for the salt and pepper to give it added zing! It can make Saturday Night more fun!
