Ingredients

  • 5 oz chunk light tuna canned in water, drained
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp dried minced onion or onion powder
  • a dollop of mayo or greek yogurt (start with just a little and only add more if you need it!)
  • 1 tsp plain yellow mustard (extra if desired)
  • salt and pepper to taste
VEGGIES ADDED:
  • shredded carrots
  • shredded radish
  • finely chopped or shredded celery
  • finely chopped white or red onion
  • chopped kosher dill pickles 
  • add a little... or a lot!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Drain your tuna.
  2. Chop your veggies.
  3. Combine with remaining ingredients and mix well.
  4. To make into a super flavorful sandwich that rivals your local deli, combine all ingredients, spread onto fluffy rye bread with a little mustard, top with arugula or romaine lettuce and dig in! Tuna and rye are a match made in heaven so hunt down some whole grain rye instead of the typical white bread. If you have 'em, onion and tomato are also di-vine piled on top of this sandwich. Use what you have and, as always, have fun with it!  A colorful lunch is a satisfying lunch.
