Steps to prepare the tuna mousse with lemon
First, chop the parsley and garlic. Add them to the bowl with the cream cheese. Mix in the drained canned tuna.
Add salt and pepper to taste and work with a fork until you get a more or less homogeneous mixture according to your preference. Add fragrance with the zest of half a well-washed and dried organic lemon and a bit of lemon juice. Add a little at a time, until you reach the acidity you prefer.
Cut a couple of lemons in half and remove the pulp. Fill them with the tuna mousse and place in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving with crunchy croutons.
Storage
You can store the lemon mousse in the fridge for a couple of days at most.
