Introduction

My friend Liz can't have many carbs. This is tuna salad with a zing. It only has 9 carbs and filled with good fats. You can substitute fat-free or light mayo and it will have the same great taste...

    Outstanding recipe. This is the best tuna salad I've ever had. I'm going to fiddle around with the ingredients a little (pickle, seasonings etc) and the presentation (toast, tortilla etc) but paired with soup, hands down this is a fantastic lunch. - 12/15/08
