Introduction

I love tuna fish salad but I don't love bread. I discovered that bell peppers and tuna salad is a delicious & healthy way to have a sandwich w/out the bread. I add 2 fruits & 5 veggies & 2 Proteins for favor. It's a lowfat, crunchy, sweet & tangy meal and I love it! I hope you do too! I love tuna fish salad but I don't love bread.
