Marine Corps Tuna Salad
I keep washed and fresh celery in foil in the fridge to use as dipping scoops for this recipe or I use those terrific parmesan cheese wafers which satisfy the crunchy urge that seems to come over me frequently. This is a filling salad that can be inserted in a scooped-out tomato, set atop a bed of lettuce or eaten by itself.
Two large cans of Chicken of the Sea Albacore Tuna in water - drained
One can of Maria's quartered artichoke hearts - chopped
Five stalks of fresh celery - chopped or sliced to suit
Enough Mayo to suit your desired texture - remember Mayo is just about carb free and if you want to cut the fat use half no-fat mayonaise. You won't be able to taste the difference.
Salt & Pepper to taste
Dash of curry - less than quarter teaspoon
Teaspoon of Dill weed
Three hard boiled eggs - chopped
Finely shredded mozzarella cheese - about 1 cup
1/2 cup Macadamia nut pieces if desired
Mix all ingredients in a serving bowl that has a tight lid or a tupperware container so that you can munch on this later. If kept cold it will keep for 3-4 days without getting soggy or stale. If it has been sitting for a while stir with a fork to mix. Serving size is an ice cream scoop full containing less than 4 net carbs.
