Simple and Hearty Tuna Wraps Print

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.

    I just fixed this today. My hubby came home for lunch and LOVED it!!! I added some finely chopped green onion and sprinkled dill weed once presented on the platter. I did substitute canned chicken breast for the tuna as I need the tuna for a dinner recipe :0) But, it was just fabulous!!! Thank you so very much for sharing this.

    Oh yeah, and I steamed the broccoli for about 6 mins to soften/green it up some.

    * finely chopped green onion
    * 1/4 cup chopped celery
    * 1/4 cup chopped broccoli, steamed
    * 1/4 cup golden raisins

    * 1/2 cup mayonnaise

    All mixed together, then filled the
    * fresh spinach leaves, rinsed clean
    * topped with chopped dill weed

    Is that right?
