Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1, 5 oz can light tuna in water drained (like Wild Planet brand)
  • 1 large egg hard cooked, chopped
  • 1 tbsp spicy mustard
  • 1 ½ tbsp dill relish like Vlasic brand
  • 1-1 ½ tbsp 2% plain greek yogurt like Fage brand
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, flake up tuna fish.  Add in all other ingredients and combine well. Season with ground black pepper.

Notes

  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of yogurt first; add more if you like
  • Use vacuum sealed tuna to keep odor to minimum for you (or family members)
  • Choose low fat greek yogurt instead of fat free- it really makes a difference!  OR, add full fat which is even better!
