I have mixed feelings about this one. I'm not sure I like lamb, so cooking with it was hard for me. The meat smelled a little off, but I wasn't sure how it should smell, so I think that affected how I thought it would taste. It wasn't bad, but I worried that it wasn't good, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I probably would have if I wasn't thinking about the meat being old.

I did really like the Tzatziki sauce, and it was an easy recipe that can be frozen. I think I might try again with ground beef, because I do think it is a good recipe.

So this isn't any earth shattering recipe. But it is the reason I like Everyday Food. Sometimes they present a combination of flavors I wouldn't have thought of trying on my own. There isn't anything crazy about combining tuna with cilantro, cumin and lime, but I just never would have thought of doing it on my own. This is a very nice flavor combination with tuna. The recipe does call for light mayo, and I did use some, just not as much as it called for. It was very good.
