Tuna sandwich recipe for diet

Tuna sandwich recipe for diet

This deli and diner staple might be tasty and convenient, but it is not necessarily the healthiest meal choice. Proof: A very common sandwich-shop version has greater than a third of the daily fat quota — 24 grams, 4 which are saturated — inside a mere 1/3 cup. An amount in our healthy tuna salad is nearly double the amount size, having a fat tally that's 18 grams slimmer, because of a mixture of low-fat mayo and nonfat yogurt. Plus, veggies add flavor, crunch, fiber, and vitamins.

Yield: 4 primary-dish servings, 2 1/2 cups
