Serving Size: 4
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Tuna
Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Low Fat, Broil, Simple - Easy, Snacks,
Sandwiches, Brunch

-= Ingredients =-
6 ounces Tuna ; - 1 can, water packed
1 stalk Celery ; - chopped fine
2 medium Scallions ; - chopped fine
1 tablespoon Pickle relish, sweet
1/4 cup Plain yogurt ; - fat-free
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 pinch Kosher salt
4 slices Whole grain bread ; - Toasted
2 slices Non-fat Cheese slices
4 slices Fresh Tomato
4 leaves Fresh loose-leaf lettuce ; -Diabetic option

-= Instructions =-
Blend together Tuna, celery, Scallions, and relish. Blend the lemon juice
into the yogurt and add to the tuna mixture. Season to taste with salt &
pepper.

Spread 1/4 of the mixture on each slice of toast. Top with 1/2 slice of
cheese and pop it under the broiler (on in the toaster oven) just long
enough to melt the cheese.

Garnish with a tomato slice, lightly sprinkled with pepper.

The creaminess of the yogurt combined with the tang of the lemon makes a low
fat replacement for the traditional mayo used in tuna salad.
