Festive Tuna Salad

You could serve this as a 1st course for company; it is not your usual mayo/tuna salad. The addition of fresh mushrooms and green peas really does the trick. I usually make a lighter version where i will strain the whey out of some plain yoghurt in a sieve and use 1/3 strained yoghurt and 2/3 mayo. If using this method the yogurt must be drained really well. I add the peas when they are still frozen; they thaw quickly and i like them cold in the salad and they do not get mushy

Steps

Flake the tuna with a fork.
Add mayo , , lemon juice.
Mix well.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Fold in mushrooms and peas.
If you add the peas frozen they will thaw quite quickly.
If using toast bread - toast bread and add a generous scoop of tuna salad on top.
Garnish with tomatoes and fresh herbs.
If using baquette - add tuna salad to plate and garnish with tomates and fresh herbs , serving bread on the side.
