Last Nights Tuna/Veggie Salad!

I'm on a tuna kick. It rarely happens, but when it does.. I want tuna, ALL the time. I go in and out of stages of liking tuna, this week.. it's on. Last night I wanted something fresh, with a crunch, and with tuna. I should mention that if you're not a tuna lover, this would taste AMAZING with chicken, or even chick peas if you want to go full out vegetarian with it.

So here's last nights dinner!


Lets Break this down:

1 can of Tuna: 100 Calories
1/4 cup Carrots: 14 Calories
1/4 cup Corn: 30 Calories
1/4 cup Tomato: 7 Calories
1/4 cup Cucumber: 5 Calories
Two Chopped Scallions: 1 Calorie

Topped with Salt, Pepper, Dill and Lemon juice

So for just about 150 Calories, I had an amazing tasting, fresh salad!

..and it was GREAT!!

Quick, Yummy, 160 Calorie, Tuna Snack in Under 5 Minutes

I was so hungry, so so hungry. We had been running around all afternoon and I hadn't kept up with my "eat a little something every 3 hours" normalcy, so by the time we got home I was STARVING. I tried to figure out something filling and quick I could throw together, and heres what I came up with.



What you'll need:

One can of Tuna in water (drained)
Lemon Juice (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Dill (to taste)
Fresh minced garlic (the natural stuff in the jar) (to taste)
2 Pieces of Wasa
Fresh Cucumber

What you'll do:

Mix the tuna, lemon juice, pepper, and garlic together.
Top Wasa toasts with the tuna mixture.
Cut slices of the fresh cucumber and place on top
Sprinkle dill over cucumber.

Sound easy enough? It is. It took me less than 5 minutes. And it was surprisingly filling for only 160 calories! 

Enjoy :)
