Simple and Hearty Tuna Wraps

I forget how delicious, healthy and filling tuna salad can be for us. I skipped toasting whole wheat bread slices this time and filled a few large spinach leaves instead. YUMMO! I was completely satisfied.
“Now I’m strong to the finish, cuz I eats my spinach.
I’m Popeye the sailor man! TOOT TOOT!”
I don’t know where that came from? Let’s move on.
HERE’S MY FAVORITE COMBINATION
- 1 (12 ounce) can Solid White Albacore Tuna
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped apple
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh spinach leaves, rinsed clean
Drain tuna well. Mix all ingredients in a medium size bowl. Spoon enough tuna to fill a spinach leaf.
You’re ready to chow down!
I grabbed an extra handful of spinach leaves and put them on the side, like chips and enjoyed the extra dark leafy goodness they offered. I don’t think anyone has ever gone wrong eating extra spinach.

Oh Jill, that looks yummy. I go in cycles with tuna and I haven’t had it in a while. Now I’m wishing I’d brought some for lunch!
