Delicious tuna salad can be made in less than 20 minutes.
For generations, canned tuna has been a staple of most every kitchen cupboard. Stir together some mayonnaise and tuna, and you've got a run-of-the-mill tuna salad sandwich. But if you want to give that tired combination the all-star treatment, consider throwing in some dried fruit, nuts and spices and serving it on pita bread. Not only will you have a tasty tuna sandwich, but you'll have a meal that is good for your waistline. Because fish is so lean, most tuna salad concoctions offer up 350 calories or less per serving.
Instructions
1. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, curry powder, salt and pepper, and minced onions in a medium bowl. Whisk together.
2. Open the tuna can and drain its water. Dump tuna, dried cherries, celery, shallot, apple, walnuts and relish into your mayonnaise-yogurt mixture. Stir until all of the ingredients have been covered by your creamy base.
3. Slice your pitas in half and open so single leaves of lettuce and slices of cheese can be inserted inside. Add the tuna salad into the pitas, using heaping tablespoons. Serve with pickle spears and chips, if desired.
