- 1/4 cup onion
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces white tuna, canned in water, unsalted
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Preparation
- Finely chop the onion and celery. Place onion and olive oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Let cool for several minutes.
- Drain tuna well and place in a mixing bowl. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess water.
- Stir in the onion mixture, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice and sugar. Mix until well blended.
- Refrigerate to chill before serving.
Helpful hints
- Make a tuna sandwich, spread on celery stalks or add to a lettuce salad.
- Use low-fat mayonnaise to reduce fat to 13 grams per serving. Note sodium content will be higher.
- If you need more protein try tuna salad and low-salt crackers for a snack.
