  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded mozzarella or Cheddar cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In medium bowl, combine tuna, cottage cheese, mayonnaise and carrot; mix well.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Give the tuna salad your own touch by adding chopped fresh chives, dill pickles, roasted red peppers, capers or sliced ripe olives. Leftover cooked chicken (about 1 cup) could be substituted for the tuna.
  • tip 2
    The tuna mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
  • tip 3
    These sandwiches are ideal for a porch or patio supper. Garnish plates with chunks of fruit - melon, pineapple and oranges.
