Isaiah's Tasty Reduced-Fat Tuna Salad

"Less fat and more flavor! My favorite way to serve this sandwich is with a slice of tomato, a slice of avocado, and some lettuce, on toasted rye bread. The pickles and dill are key to the fabulous taste - The more sour the pickles the better (cornichons are great for this). You can try substituting a smaller amount of dried dill if you don't have access to fresh herbs."

directions

  • Drain tuna. With a fork, break it up in a bowl into the size and texture you prefer (I like to leave some chunks - others prefer it totally mashed).
  • Add all the other ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  • Serve cold, in a sandwich or over a green salad.

  1. I loved this! It was super easy and delicious. I didn't have dill pickles so I substituted green olives. I didn't have celery either, but I hate it anyways. I added a dash of onion powder and a dash of garlic powder too. Served it on wheat toast with a slice of cheese. Yum!
     
  2. This is a nice light tuna salad. A bit too much dill for my liking ... will reduce it by half the next time I make this. It is a moist salad so we had it on toasted bread.
     
  3. Very tasty sandwich. Did not have fresh dill so I substituted with 1/2 tsp dried. Loved the mayo mustard combination of flavours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Read my gluten-free blog <a href="http://glutenfreebay.blogspot.com/">here</a>. I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry. Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course! My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
