Tuna Salad

I like a good Albacore as it is lighter and better flavor.
In a bowl , mix some fresh ginger - I like ginger so I am heavy handed, and the same with Horse Radish.
Pour in a liberal amount of Olive Oil and about a 1/5 amount in comparison of Orange Juice.
I finish off with a table spoon of honey and a table spoon of vegemite - sounds weird but goes well. If you dong have vegemite, try a beef bouillon which is the salt value.
You can add chopped black olives and celery to give it a crunch.

Exclusive BLT Salad

Baby Roman Lettuce - cut in half
Cracked pepper/rock salt
Chopped cooked bacon
Thin Sliced hard cheese - Irish Cheese is my fav.
Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes, and Brown Sliced Mushrooms - no oil so they get a dark char on them
Sliced Advocado
Fine Olive Oil

Simple
Take the sliced Roman Lettuce and fry in pan with a little olive oil - you could also added a little garlic for the adventurous.
Dont turn, just as soon as it gets a little color, place on plate with all ingredients, I like to have the cheese in the middle to get a little melted action on it.
Finish off with the olive oil and seasoning........
Great as a side to fish.
