Tuna Salad Happy Face

Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 oz.) solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) Sargento® Pepper Jack Shredded Cheese, divided
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
  • 8 sweet small pickles or mini dill pickles
  • 8 cherry tomatoes or pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 2 cucumber slices, halved
  • 4 baby carrots
  • 1 roasted red pepper, well drained and cut into thin strips
  • Crackers or bread (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine tuna, 1 cup cheese, mayonnaise and pickle relish. For each serving, mound and flatten 1/2 cup tuna mixture into a 4-inch circle on a serving plate forming a face.
  2. Decorate each face by placing pickles as ears, halved cucumber slices for eyebrows, tomatoes or olives for eyes, carrot for a nose and pepper strips for a mouth. Sprinkle remaining cheese for hair. Serve with crackers or bread, if desired.
