I was trying to figure out what to put in my starving stomach.
Wondering around in my kitchen I found a jar of roasted eggplants, which I neglected for a while. Since eggplant dip is very low in fat and has no nonsense put into it, I thought I give it a try in my tuna salad.
This is what you will need:
- 1 can of tuna in water, drained (of course you knew that!)
- 4-5 black Spanish olives, pitted
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1 stalk celery
- herbs or salt free seasoning
- some garlic salt to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of roasted eggplant dip
Just mix everything together. You can even add a green salad or more vegetables. Add black olives to taste, but remember that about 4-5 olives have 1g of fat. This tuna recipe is very low fat but creamy and delicious because of the added eggplant. Even if you don’t like eggplant, you should give it a try!
Why not wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla and take it to work or give it to the kids for lunch. Kids like anything in a wrap, specially tuna salad!
I hope you enjoy this recipe, I know I did.
Once a week or so I will try to post one lean-mean recipe, so keep an eye out for that.
Bon Appetit!
