My mom introduced me to this new way of making tuna fish this summer, and it is absolutely AMAZING! I had been looking for something to replace the mayonnaise in my tuna to make it healthier, but I was plumb out of ideas until my mom gave me this crazy idea: hummus. Now at first I looked at her like she had gone insane- that just sounded nasty! Little did I know, the tuna she had put in the fridge that I had previously been munching on was made with hummus!
I made this variant of tuna today for lunch and threw it on top of my salad, and it was both healthy and delicious, so I figured I would share!!
Generally, people add a few vegetables to their tuna to add a little flavor and some crunch. With this recipe, however, I cut up a ton of vegetables and then add some tuna on top. Therefore, rather than having a gooey mess like they serve in restaurants, you get several servings of vegetables while still getting the protein and without too much mercury! I add a dash of pepper on top to spice it up a bit, and viola!
This tuna is very good eaten straight out the bowl, on top of a salad, with pasta, or even on a sandwich. Since it makes a lot more than the standard tuna with mayo, I put the leftovers in a tupperware in the fridge so I can enjoy it again tomorrow :)
