The Other Way of Tuna

On the lighter side, here’s a recipe for making tuna salad that you may enjoy the eating or preparing of. It was borne of necessity as I’m not a big carnivore but tuna was on the menu. Also of necessity as I get bored with the same old thing. Finally, as my cholesterol is high, I’m adding an experimental condiment that I want to use more:

Tuna Salad #463:

1 can Albacore tuna
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 thick slice of onion diced smallish
1 heaping tablespoon bleu cheese
2 heaping tablespoons quadruple-bypass mayonnaise ¹‚ ²
Garlic salt

Mix ingredients in a medium sized bowl, using potato masher to crush and tenderize the tuna. Add a bit of garlic salt to taste. Enjoy as a melt over your favorite toast, or go low-carb with just the salad. Remember to use the special mayo if you want what I think is a slightly healthier option. I had a bit of bleu cheese dressing left over, and it made for a nice twist to the flavor of the salad.

¹This mayonnaise could actually be healthier, but I am not a physician nor a dietician, and this has not been tested, so please consult with a healthcare professional.

²Quadruple-bypass mayonnaise:

Combine solely for the recipe or in a mayonnaise jar for future portions, equal parts:

Your preferred mayo³
Nonfat plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
Reduced or nonfat sour cream

Optional spicy version:

Add curry or wasabi to taste

³The olive oil mayo I’ve tried is slightly lower in cholesterol than regular mayo, according to its nutrition label

Here is a nice instrumental to go with your tuna; it is called The Other Way of Stopping, and was written by Stewart Copeland & performed by his band, The Police.
