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.
