Mix Saucí Romesco with tuna and a little yogurt or artisianal mayo to make a sandwich spread or appetizer. Saucí Romesco is a dream compliment for humus too!
You will love your tuna salad again after making this version! Despite what I originally thought – which was that Saucí Verde would be the obvious choice for tuna fish – Saucí Romesco really does well in a tuna salad. Also, ever since I’ve been making my own hummus, I also just stir some Romesco in there too to add some wonderful flavor.
In addition to the Saucí Romesco, you’ll probably want something else to help loosen it up. Yogurt is an option, or if you are low-carb/keto then some artisanal mayo is perfect. I like to add some chopped scallion as a little homage to the springtime Calçots in Catalonia.
The hummus I make at home has to be pretty mellow and mild for my 5 year old. So I simply stir some Saucí Romesco in mine to give it some real pop.
