Ingredients:

- 1 can of tuna, drained

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1 lemon, juiced

- 1 clove of garlic, minced

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Dried oregano

- Dried basil

Direction:

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.

 

2. Blend or process until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little bit of water to thin it out.

 

3. Season the tonnato sauce with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Start with a small amount of each and adjust to your taste preference.

 

4. Blend or process again until the seasoning is fully incorporated into the sauce.

 

5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice for a tangier taste or more dried herbs for a stronger flavor.

 

6. Transfer the tonnato sauce into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

 

7. Once chilled, the tonnato sauce is ready to be used. It can be served as a dip for vegetables or crackers, or used as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.

 

Enjoy your homemade tonnato sauce with its delicious combination of tuna, mayonnaise, and herbs. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bon appétit!
