Recipe: Mock Tuna Salad

I called it "mock" only because regular Tuna Salad is usually made from Mayo... -_- I do NOT like mayo.. it scares me. So, I subbed in things I like (and what I had on hand at the time) for this..



Mock Tuna Salad
Serves 1

6 oz Canned Tuna (I used Starkist and Chicken of Sea Solid White - about a can and a half)
1/4 - 1/3 cup Brown Spicy Mustard
Small Onion, Diced or sliced
2 oz Hass Avocado
hot sauce to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste

I weighed out 6 oz tuna from 2 cans after draining. Place in bowl, set aside. Dice Onions and Avocado, and add to the tuna. Blend well. Lastly, add the mustard to the tuna mixture. Depending on how moist you like your tuna salad, you can use more or less than the amount I used. I like it fairly dry, but just enough to hold together. Once you've blended the all the ingredients, then you can add the hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

I'm eating it with two slices toasted Ezekiel bread, but you can eat it plain or with a low carb wrap (which I've done)!



Note: I have also used flavored hummus along with the mustard! Roasted Red Pepper, Chipotle and Sundried Tomato are my favs!

Enjoy!!
