EASY (AND TASTY) TUNA SALAD FOR ONE
I made this up all by myself. My mom and I are big tuna eaters. I eat tuna everyday and I find this to be the EASIEST and TASTIEST way I can possibly make my tuna salad for my lunch everyday. It's very quick and takes me about 5 minutes, it's also low fat and good for you. My mom tells me all the time that she loves it. I enjoy it as well, I eat this tuna salad nearly every day for lunch at school. I eat it with crackers, on bread or plain with some fruit, the Mrs. Dash gives it a great flavor, I always keep Mrs. Dash on hand. I hope you like it. It's a recipe concocted by a 15 year old chef. lol.

Steps:
- Drain your tuna well.
- Scoop into a bowl with a fork and flake it well with your fork, breaking up the larger chunks of tuna.
- Add remaining ingredients and enjoy.
- Whenever I'm in a hurry I just use the mayonnaise, honey mustard and Mrs. Dash.
- When I have time I add the carrot which gives it a nice crunch.
- Eat it on 2 slices of whole wheat bread, with tortilla chips, or with crackers.
- Sometimes I just eat it plain it tastes just fine that way.

TASTY TUNA TATER SALAD
This is definitely not your traditional potato salad recipe, but it's delicious! By adding the Italian and ranch dressing to the warm potatoes, the potatoes really soak up a ton of flavor. Adding lemon to the tuna does really help take away some of the "fishy" taste. I really love the crunch you get from the veggies. This salad...

Steps:
- 1. Place drained, cooked and cubed potatoes in a large bowl.
- 2. Put drained tuna in a small bowl with the 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; stir well and set aside while you add other ingredients to the potatoes. Adding lemon juice helps to get rid of the fishy taste of the tuna.
- 3. Add the sweet relish, mustard, ranch and Italian dressings to potatoes while they are hot. Gently stir to coat the potatoes. Be careful, as they break up if handled roughly while hot.
- 4. Add the tuna and boiled eggs to the potato mixture. Stir in the chopped and minced veggies -onion, celery, carrot and red bell pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- 5. Mix well. Can serve at room temperature or cold. It is even better the next day or two, as the flavors meld in the refrigerator.
- 6. Serve on a bed of lettuce with or without the optional garnishes. Enjoy!!
- 7. ***Optional Garnishes • A sprinkling of shredded Cheddar Cheese • Tri-color tortilla strips placed on top • A couple of Capelle Tomatoes, cut in half and placed on the side of the plate (since tomatoes aren't in season; these seem to have better, fresher taste than some you buy in the stores)

HEALTHY AND TASTY WHITE BEAN AND TUNA SALAD
This salad takes a little to assemble. But it's nutritional content (chock full of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids) and fantastic taste are well worth it. We're finding out that beans are one of the best foods there is - adding only three cups a week can lower your cholesterol, decrease your cancer risk, and can even promote weight loss. The Omega-3's in tuna increase your good cholesterol, are heart and brain healthy. I've adapted it from a recipe that originally ran in the New York Times.

Steps:
- 1. Place the onion in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons of the vinegar and cold water to cover. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then dry on paper towels. This rids the onion of it's sharpness. If you LIKE the sharpness- omit this step!
- 2. In a medium bowl or salad bowl, combine the tuna, beans, onions, sage, and parsley.
- 3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the remaining vinegar, salt to taste, freshly ground pepper, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Toss with the tuna and beans and serve, garnishing each plate with cucumber or tomato slices.
- This keeps well in the refrigerator for several days. I've served leftovers on slabs of French bread, hollowed out in the middle (so the beans don't roll), brushed with olive oil and toasted in the oven (toast the bread, then add the beans.) My guests couldn't get enough.
