TUNA SALAD!! =] Anyone know a good one?

ScoobieSTI Posts: 15 Joined: 2005/07/18	2005/07/25, 01:37 AM Looking to whip up a mean tuna salad from time to time, seems how my lady friend has sworn off protien shakes forever! (lol... I try so hard to make her like them, but isn't going to happen.) Anyone know of a really tasty way to make one? :big_smile: Thanks in advance!

That is also good stuffed into whole wheat pita bread pockets. My favorite easiest tuna salad is pre-cut romaine or mixed greens, can of tuna over the top of them, udo's oil, salt, pepper and garlic. I posted a tuna, black bean and barley salad on the recipe sticky above. Also - look up tuna in fit buddy, there have been endless discussions on how to make tuna more palatable. Try your ladyfriend on nectar whey protein - it comes in awesome fruit flavors, I also like to boost the flavor by mixing it with crystal lite instead of just water. -------------- Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.
