Tuna salad with mint and walnuts — makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients:
• 20 ounces of tuna, water-packed canned
• 6 tablespoons of non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 2 celery, diced
• ¼ cup of parsley, minced
• 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, julienned
• ½ cup of walnuts, chopped and toasted
Directions:
-
Drain the tuna and add it to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining
ingredients and stir until just combined. -
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with sliced fresh veggies and
a salad or with whole-grain bread. -
Handy Hint: When mixing together your tuna salad, use a fork instead of a
spoon to create a lighter, fluffier salad. The fork introduces a bit of air
into the mix, where a mixing spoon actually compresses the salad as you
stir, leaving you with a denser dish.
