Tuna Salad Sandwich

Most tuna salads are dripping in mayonnaise. But why settle for such a high-fat ordinary-tasting treatment? In this alternative version, lemon juice, plain yogurt, and Dijon mustard add moisture and tanginess.

PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes
NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 2
INGREDIENTS:
1 can white or light tuna in water, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon pickle relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced onion
4 slices wheat bread
Lettuce and tomato
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place tuna in small bowl and combine with lemon juice. Add yogurt, mayo, pickle relish, mustard, and onion, and combine well.

2. Line 2 bread slices with lettuce and tomato. Top each with half of tuna. Top with remaining slices of bread.

Variations

    "This is probably my favorite recipe so far, at least the Indian version is. I skip the relish and onions, and use 1 teaspoon of regular mayo instead of more of the light stuff."

    "I love that one too. I put it on a Thomas's whole-wheat pita. It was good! I always add a little more celery and sometimes green pepper to it -- the crunchier the better!"

    "I had this for lunch today on wheat bread but added 1/4 of an apple to it for that little bit of sweet taste. Try it, you'll like it."
