Used it as a dip instead. The sweetness works out better that way. Read More

This is definitely sweet. The use of carrots and honey mustard was interesting. Although I liked the ideas I wouldn't make it again as written--I'd go less on the honey mustard and less on the sugar and just a dash of salt. I did not like the idea of using the tuna liquid or mashing the tuna; it was mushy enough without doing those steps. I enjoyed trying this recipe though. Read More
