Spicy Tuna Dip - a simple dip that's perfect with both crackers and carrot sticks

Spicy Tuna Dip

This spicy tuna dip is fantastic to serve with crackers for a snack or at a dinner party. If you're lucky to have any leftover, use in sandwiches. Easy to make with just a few ingredients makes this a favourite of mine.

Ingredients
 

  • 200 g cream cheese, softened
  • 185 g tinned tuna, either in springwater or oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika, (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients together
  • Serve on crackers with a little paprika sprinkled on top, or in sandwiches with cucumber, tomato and lettuce.

Notes

  • Add more cayenne pepper if you prefer a little more heat in this dish.
  • This will firm up when chilled so if you want a a dip that's a little less firm, reduce the cream cheese to 150g and add 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
