The Most Delicious Tuna Salad You'll Ever Have

I love this recipe.  It's part from a health magazine, part improvised from me! :)  Make it, taste it, and you'll fall in love!!! :) :)

INGREDIENTS
-1 small can chunk albacore tuna in water (drain)
-2 teaspoons mayo (use Hellman's Light! or Miracle Whip)
-1 tablespoon sliced almonds
-1 tablespoon craisins
-1-2 tablespoons chopped green/bell pepper
-Garlic Powder
-Parsley flakes

Mix tuna, mayo, almonds, craisins, and green pepper.  Add 2-3 pinches of the garlic powder.  Add 4-5 shakes of the parsley flakes.  Mix well to make sure the garlic powder is evenly distributed.

Put on wheat bread with sliced tomatoes, a bunch of lettuce, and three thin slices of mild cheddar cheese (don't use processed american cheese -- that will totally ruin the flavor!!!).

This recipe is great -- it gives you crunch (almonds and green pepper), a burst of sweet/fruity (craisins), some salt (garlic powder), and omega-3's (tuna).  Be sure you load up on the tomatoes and lettuce to qualify for a serving of vegetables.  That plus the green pepper will give you the vegetables needed for this meal.
