Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Tuna - 1 can, water packed
  • 1 stalk Celery - chopped fine
  • 2 medium Scallions - chopped fine
  • 1 tablespoon Pickle relish, sweet
  • 1/4 cup Plain yogurt - fat-free
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt
  • 4 slices Whole grain bread - Toasted
  • 2 slices Non-fat Cheese slices
  • 4 slices Fresh Tomato
  • 4 leaves Fresh looseleaf lettuce -Diabetic option

Preparation

Blend together Tuna, celery, Scallions, and relish. Blend the lemon juice into the yogurt and add to the tuna mixture. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Spread 1/4 of the mixture on each slice of toast. Top with 1/2 slice of cheese and pop it under the broiler (on in the toaster oven) just long enough to melt the cheese.

Garnish with a tomato slice, lightly sprinkled with pepper.

The creaminess of the yogurt combined with the tang of the lemon makes a low fat replacement for the traditional mayo used in tuna salad.
