Mayo-Less Tuna

This is one of my favorite ways to make tuna.  Of course instead of tuna you can use chicken, tofu or just the vegetables.  This can also be created with veggies you have on hand and created lots and lots of different ways.

Mayo-Less Tuna:

1 7-oz can albacore tuna

1/2 avacado

1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

juice from a wedge of lemon

1/4 teaspoon horse radish

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes sliced

1/8 cup red onion chopped

1-2 radishes chopped

1-2 tablespoons kalamata olives chopped

1 whole grain English muffin

Several fresh spinach leaves

I've also made this with chopped cucumbers, carrots, green onions, peppers, jalapenos, crumbled feta.  The list goes on and on. Be creative! 

This will make enough for 2-3 sandwiches. Another easy way to prep a few lunches and so much healthier than fast food!

 

 

Start out by draining the water out of the tuna can.  Put the tuna in a bowl and break it apart with a fork (or add your chopped chicken or chopped tofu).  Then add the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and horseradish.  Use the fork to make sure the avocado gets mixed in really well with the tuna and the other ingredients.

 

Then add your chopped vegetables and gently stir them into the tuna mixture.

 

In the ingredient picture I forgot to add the horseradish and kalamata olives.  These both make a great addition to the tuna.  I especially like the olives. You make the tuna so much healthier by not using mayo.  You can also make it with an olive oil base rather than avocado.  I ate mine on a whole grain English muffin topped with fresh spinach, but it would be great just to eat by itself or in a lettuce wrap.  Simply Delicious.
