This was very easy to prepare, made it for a quick lunch. I went light on the Mrs. Dash only used 1 tablespoon and it was plenty spicey. I also served it with tomatoes as it just needed something more. But an all around good recipe. -
Really tasty! I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it but if I worked out and am starving I can eat a whole can of tuna, but not this kind - half a can is very filling and you don't miss the mayo. Just a word of caution if you don't have Mrs. Dash, which I didn't...I substituted another seasoning blend and even without adding salt and pepper it was way too salty. I would start with 2 tsp. to 1 T of any seasoning with salt in it. -
mmm, i always make tuna salad with cottage cheese now instead of mayonnaise. Sometimes i add relish or pickles as well.

I love the upper midwest, where my husband and I have made our home. We raise our two beautiful children in a small town west of the Twin Cities.
I am an engineer who has progressed to Stay At Home Mom and now just recently, Homeschooler. Never in a million years would I have expected THIS! Now, my focus has progressed from career-driven to family-driven.
I love to cook, and I use my engineering degree in my cooking. I love to learn how to do things, and why things work. Some of the things I've learned is: How to make yogurt, cheese, soap, and many other things that my friends taunt me about. I don't mind. I would go nuts otherwise.
My husband only gets paid once a month. So, I have become a meal planner & Once A Month Cooking lover. I shop on the first of the month, and only buy needed dairy and fresh ingredients through the rest of the month. So, I look for meals that work with our plans.
And, one last note: I do have a small job to get me out of the house. I am a dance instructor, and LOVE to dance (which is where my silly photo came from). So, if you were to peek in my windows (which I don't recommend by the way - he he he) you'd see me cooking and dancing. They seem to go together SO WELL!!
