    Easy Tuna Spread


    Source of Recipe


    Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices

    Recipe Introduction


    serves 4
    Melissa's Notes - Upon sitting, this spread can get a bit watery and
    requires remixing. Best if served just after preparation. I am not sure how
    it would hold up for the original recipe's indication of a molded
    spread.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup Ricotta cheese
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    OR
    1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon sour cream
    6 ounces white tuna in water -- drained, canned

    Recipe



    Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Serve immediately or chill for a short
    time and serve.
    Alternately, place all ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover and
    blend on medium speed until smooth. Line 2-cup metal bowl or mold with
    plastic wrap. Place mixture in bowl. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or
    until set. Carefully unmold onto serving plate.
