  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: MAKES 1 CUP

Using imported canned tuna in olive oil and pureeing it with cream cheese in addition to the usual mayonnaise turns the mousse into a rich hors d'oeuvre. The recipe can easily be doubled.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Try an Italian sparkling wine to balance the salty, creamy mousse.
