Mae West’s Salada de Tuna

I was craving Mae’s salad for lunch when I was at the supermarket today so I tried to remember what was in it on the hoof.  So this is basically Mae’s recipe with the addition of a few things I had knocking around the fridge – lettuce, rocket, some beetroot and a few cubes of avocado.  It was bloody delicious.

I have just checked the recipe and I wasn’t far off: tuna fish, hard boiled egg, gherkins, mayonnaise and olives – all of these I remembered.  I forgot lemon juice and celery…  But I think Mae wouldn’t mind a little variation on the theme.

For dinner I had a Vincent Price meal in a pineapple.  More about that over at the Vincentennial Cookblog!
