Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp white wine (dry)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp capers (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna and softened cream cheese. Use a fork to mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2

Add the mayonnaise, white wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped parsley and capers (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Once fully mixed, transfer the dip to a serving bowl or airtight container.

Step 6

For immediate use, serve as a dip with crackers, slices of baguette, or veggie sticks. Alternatively, use as a sandwich spread by slathering onto bread or rolls with your choice of additional fixings.

Step 7

If not serving immediately, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The dip can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
