"SPICY TUNA" SALAD



This is a great spicy, low-carb snack when served with vegetables such as celery sticks and endive. It's also great served with baked tortilla chips or low-fat whole-grain crackers. Until recently, canned tuna was most commonly available in 6-ounce cans. But lately, a lot of products have decreased in size-from cereals to ice cream to peanut butter, which now often has a bubble in the bottom of the jar to make it look as big as it once was-even though the prices have not gone down. Be wary of this when you determine how many calories you're consuming. The numbers on this dish are based on the 5-ounce can, not a 6-ounce one-which, by the way, generally contains only 3 1/2 ounces of tuna (the rest is liquid).

Yield makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (5-ounce) can chunk light tuna in water, drained
1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise (no more than 2 g of fat per tablespoon; I used Best Foods/Hellmann's)
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, or more to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the tuna, mayonnaise, and chili garlic sauce until well combined. Season with additional chili garlic sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.
  • Each (scant 1/4-cup) serving has:
