Ingredients

  • 2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in water, drained
  • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained and cut into slivers
  • 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted and cut diagonally in half
  • 2 medium unpeeled eating apples, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted

Steps

  • 1
    Mix tuna, mayonnaise, sugar and curry powder in medium bowl. Stir in bell pepper, celery, onion, water chestnuts and pineapple.
  • 2
    Arrange 2 toast halves on each plate. Arrange apple slices around edge of plate. Place tuna mixture on center of each plate. Sprinkle pecans over tuna mixture.

  • Be sure to choose tuna that is packed in water, not oil. By choosing water-packed tuna, you can save 70 calories and 6 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving. By combining tuna—already containing Omega-3 fatty acids—with pecans, you get a little more bang for your buck, on the nutrition front.
