This is an all-time favorite from my mom's house, and only 2 pts per serving! I was feeling nostalgic this week, and decided to have a Saturday lunch to make me think of home. I guessed at ingredients and came up with something pretty close, and very tasty!
There are numerous ways to serve this - in a pita with cucumber slices (as I did today), on whole wheat with some baked lays (Mom and I love it that way! Actually put the chips on the sandwich to add some crunch!), or even just over a bed of spinach salad.
- 1 package StarKist Chunk Tuna in Water
- 1 1/2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 Tbsp red onion, chopped
- Grated carrots (I didn't have these on-hand, but they are a wonderful addition)
- 1/4 to 1/2 lemon, juice of
- 2 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
- salt and fresh pepper, to taste
Yields 3 servings.
2 Points per serving.
Enjoy!
Hi Sarah... Mom's Tuna is just a little bit different.. here goes.
ReplyDeleteA pkg or can StarKist Tuna in water.. use white tuna if available.
1/2 stalk celery, finely chopped
2tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1 small grated carrot
Good squeeze of lemon juice (prob 1tbsp)
Reduced fat mayo to moisten to your desire, OR, 1/2 reg and 1/2 low fat if you feel indulgent. I use only Helmanns.
S/P to taste.
This makes a great tuna melt using the new bread rounds (don't know if you can get them there) Each round is 1 point. Toast open faced in toaster oven with a little bit of cheese. The bread gets really crisp.
