If you are in the mood for a something a little light give this a shot.
Tuna
1 can of tuna held in water
2 tbsp chopped celery
2 tbsp chopped white onion
1/4c low fat plain yogurt
1/2 ea lemon
2 tbsp chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Drain out the tuna. Chop all vegetables and herbs, put them aside for a moment. Place the drained tuna in a bowl and combine it with the plain yogurt. If the yogurt has separated a little don't worry. Give the delicious live culture a quick mix and things should be back to normal. Now that you have the tuna in a bowl and the yogurt ready put the 1/4 cup with the fish. Squeeze the 1/2 lemon into the bowl and fold smoothly with a rubber spatula. You don't want to ruin the texture of the fish by rushing this step. So fold slowly. Once everything has come toghether add the onions, celery and parsley. Fold until everything is incorporated then season as desired. Hold in the fridge until ready to serve.
Asparagus
3 ea asparagus spears
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 ea lemon
Simply bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus. Place them in the water. Let them cook for 1-2 mins. Pull them out and toss them in EVOO, a squeeze of lemon and season as desired. Serve immediately. If you are not looking to serve right away be sure to have an ice bath ready to "shock" them. This will ensure their crisp delicious taste and texture.
Rye Bread "Fingers"
1 ea slice of Rye Bread
Toast the bread. Take the toast and simply cut it into quarters. You can use more bread if you like. I tend to watch the amount of carbohydrates that i am putting in my body. Today eating one slice of bread means that sugar can go into my coffee. So yes today I will take some coffee with my sugar! ;-)
This is a simple delicious alternative to tuna salad if you have any questions or comments please feel free.
Enjoy the Day!
