Here is what I am making tonight for after my workout. I have been very busy this week but still managed to get in the kitchen for some Muffin Tin Frittatas with Bacon, Steak and Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
This will give you four sandwiches worth. With two slices of bread you are looking about 463 calories a sandwich and 26 grams of protein. Without bread, you are looking at 263 calories and 16 grams of protein. Its a VERY good Classic and simple Tuna Salad and I encourage everyone to make it.
Classic Tuna Salad
2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 stalk celery , minced (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons red onions , minced
2 tablespoons dill pickles or 2 tablespoons sweet gherkins , minced
½ clove garlic , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1/8 tsp.)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves , minced
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions:
Place the tuna in a colander and drain well.
Shred the tuna with your fingers, breaking up any clumps until it has a fine and even texture.
Put the tuna in a medium bowl and mix in the lemon juice, celery, onion, pickles, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley until well blended.
Fold in the mayonnaise and Dijon until mixture is evenly moistened.
Salad can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
