YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Tuna with a Bite

Some of the young people in my home have their own way of preparing tuna fish and I thought they might inspire you to think about other ways of making tuna than with the standard mayonnaise and celery. 

When I mentioned this to a co-worker, she shared that her favorite way to eat tuna is to mix in a tablespoon of olive oil.  That sounds delicious.  I like to cover a tray with lettuce leaves and then turn over a can of tuna in the center, surrounding it with piles of green beans, olives, new potatoes, carrots, and radishes.  All different colors.

1) Here’s a recipe for “tuna with a bite”:

1 large can of tuna (water pack)
1-2 teaspoons tabasco sauce
4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 large sour pickle, diced
1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce (optional)

2) and here’s a recipe for “tuna with a bit less bite”:

1 large can of tuna (water pack)
4-5 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 banana peppers, chopped into small pieces
2 tablespoons mustard

Mix and serve.  Bon appetit.
