I've decided to give tuna a try again. It's easy to prepare, light and healthy...as long as you don't drench it in mayo. My previous tuna staple was to do a tuna & pasta salad, but that doesn't jive with low-carb.
Pinterest to the rescue, as I found a great recipe for a skinny tuna melt. I liked the recipe because it allows me to sneak in some extra veggies, but yet maintains the healthy side of things.
Here is the official recipe picture:
It's really delicious!! My mom gets this awesome whole grain bread from Costco, and had brought some for me when they visited last month, so I used that. She also had bought some fake cheese slices, so I used that too, and honestly can't tell the difference between the fake and real when it's all finished. I probably go a little crazy with the celery and carrots, but I love the crunch and texture they add. I also use low-fat mayo with olive oil instead of the regular mayo. The recipe calls to toast the bread and melt the cheese by using a skillet. But I think it will probably work better in the toaster oven, so I'll do that next time. The cheese didn't really melt, but I don't know if that's because it's fake or not.
Will I make it again? Of course! It's light and healthy, but really filling at the same time.
