Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly using a fork or spatula until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute all the flavors.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a zestier flavor, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch more garlic powder.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if stored in the refrigerator.
