Terrific Tuna Salad
"I have to confess I made this with sour cream instead of yogurt so it wasn't "lightened up". I also added some pickles because I prefer a sour taste to the sweet pickle flavor (I added sweet pickles too). This is a perfect week night dish that comes together quickly and is delicious. Recipe courtesy of Classic Pillsbury Cookbook Cool Salads and Sizzling BBQ. NOTE: 5/13/12 I made this again "lightened up", and it was terrific. I used dill pickles instead of sweet pickle relish, but I did not miss the mayonnaise in this recipe."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
