Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 5 oz cans Solid White Albacore Tuna in water
  • 4 tbsp low fat mayo
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp cream or half & half
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp drained pickles, minced
  • 2 tbsp banana peppers, minced
  • 2 tbsp celery, diced
for layering your sandwich or wrap
  • red onions sliced
  • pickles
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes sliced

Method
 

  1. Drain the tuna and break it down with a fork. Add all the remaining ingredients, stopping at diced celery and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  2. I love making sandwiches out of this tuna salad. scoop a generous amount of this healthy tuna salad onto lightly toasted bread. Add sliced onions and pickles. You can add lettuce and tomatoes as well. Serve with a side of chips or roasted veggies.

Notes

You can use greek yogurt instead of low fat mayo. 
If you don't want it to be spicy you can omit the sriracha. 
You can add fresh herbs like parsley or dill. 
I don't keep this in the fridge for more than 3 days.
