Tuna Mousse
Description
Mousse is perfect for a snack paired with salted crackers, croutons, or toasted bread pieces. You can take it with you on a picnic in a thermal bag or to work. The dish comes together very quickly—the main thing is to wait for it to set in the refrigerator. Serve with herbs and sauce.

Step 3
In another bowl, combine the canned tuna flakes, sour cream of any fat content, and pour in the liquid with the gelatin dissolved in it. Add salt and ground black pepper. Keep in mind that gelatin “absorbs” some of the flavor—salt or sugar—so don’t be afraid to oversalt the dish!
