⭐ Why you'll love this recipe
You won’t want to miss this yummy tuna appetizer. It's quick, tasty and the perfect game night appetizer if you are a sports fan. But you don't have to wait for the Superbowl to make this. I make this each time I host an "apéritif dinatoire" (French for "dinner with appetizers") and I never have any leftovers!
📖 Ingredient notes
- Canned tuna. For this recipe, you will need canned tuna in water / brine.
- Cream cheese. To make this tuna dip, you can use regular cream cheese. Or, if like me, you can't have cow dairy, you can use fresh goat cheese. Fresh goat cheese is pretty close to regular cream cheese. It has a creamy texture (as you can see on the video). Its taste is very subtle, it doesn't have a strong goat taste, unlike dry goat cheese.
- Lemon juice. It gives a nice kick to this tuna dip. You can also use lime juice if you prefer.
