Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp white wine (dry)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp capers (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and softened cream cheese. Use a fork to mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the mayonnaise, white wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Fold in the chopped parsley and capers (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.
Once fully mixed, transfer the dip to a serving bowl or airtight container.
For immediate use, serve as a dip with crackers, slices of baguette, or veggie sticks. Alternatively, use as a sandwich spread by slathering onto bread or rolls with your choice of additional fixings.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The dip can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
