No matter how creative or spontaneous or inventive I aim to be with my weekday lunches, at some point I always end up craving just simple a tuna salad sandwich. It’s lunchtime comfort food. Has it been a while since you last had tuna salad?
Here’s my favorite, most basic recipe. I think it’s just about perfect.
Ingredients
1 can albacore tuna
2/3 cup non-fat cottage cheese
4 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 small red onion, chopped finely
1 stalk celery, chopped finely
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
splash of lemon juice
pinch or two of dill
Directions
This beats the socks off any and all tuna salads I have ever had. And it’s healthier too! By the way, I make lunches for my whole week of work so I usually triple the recipe and it makes six sandwiches.
