I am at a pretty tight restriction lately and have been struggling to get in my Protein. Anyway, I made the most delicious tuna salad and thought I would share.

One can of tuna drained. Ran through the food processer to make it a finer consistency. Add 1/4 cup minced onions, and 6 olices minced (I used Goya jarred green olives). Add 3 drops Tabasco sauce and a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Mix with several tablespoons hellmans mayonaise. Add salt and pepper.

That's it.

This was much easier for me to eat after I ran it through the food processer.

This sounds great. I'm going to try it when I get to solid-food stage.

Amy.

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss. I was also banded by Dr Fielding this past June.

I love tuna fish for a quick Protein fix. When I'm on mushies, I just add spice (garlic, red pepper, tarragon) and some balsamic vinegar. When I'm on solids, in addition to the spices, I add Water chestnuts for some crunch & either sliced scallions or diced shallots.

That is an awesome idea that never entered my mind. It's crazy that I've been getting stuck on tuna salad - now hopefully I won't anymore.

Thanks for the tip!

Sounds tasty. But be careful, assuming "several" means 4, I calculate your total calories at over 640 per serving.

Try using 2 tbs of the Hellman's Canola mayo instead, you'll cut out 260 calories. Or try using Dijonaise instead of mayo and you'll knock another 100 off. Mix half as much onion with the same amount of celery and knock another 30 off. Capers instead of olives, 30 more off. :scared2:

Thanks for the tip...thankfully I have excellent restriction, so I only eat small amounts! Oh and I would only use 2 tb of mayo for just one can of tuna. But not sure about your calorie info...

1 can chunk white Bumblebee tuna = 160 cals

2 tbs hellmans mayo= 180 cals

1/4 cup onion=16 cals

6 Goya green olives=36 cals

tabasco/lemon juice/salt/pepper...=practically 0 cals :w00t:

Grand total=392 cals for total recipe. But for me, I would be lucky to be able to eat 1/2 cup!!

OK that makes sense, I thought you were using 4tbs of mayo and my can of solid white tuna says 191 calories. I could definitely eat the whole thing. :thumbdown:

Try the canola Hellman's, I'm a mayo snob and that's the only healthier one I ever tried that tasted OK.
