Introduction
This isn't just your regular tuna salad. It's tuna salad with a twist...lettuce! I never understood how you can call something a salad wihout lettuce, so here's my answer to that...add some! :-)You can use other healthier blends of lettuce too, but iceburg is used here to show the least nutritional value. If you're not worried about the carbs add diced cucumber with or without skin (skin has more carbs). This isn't just your regular tuna salad. It's tuna salad with a twist...lettuce!
