Crunchy Tuna Salad-Cycle 1
1 can (5oz) tuna in water, drained
2 Tbsp smart balance omega plus light mayonaise or plain yogurt mixed with ranch dressing mix
6 sugar free bread and butter pickles
1/2-3/4 c cole slaw mix (cabbage and carrots shredded)
seasonings to taste, I like a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder
Mix together all ingredients and serve.

This sounds awesome! Is it really Cyclel 1 ok? I’m just wondering about the light or fat free mayo. I just can’t bring myself to just plunk a can of tuna on top of lettuce. Yuk.

Happy C: You’d be surprised how good the Tuna on a bed of Salad Greens is with the Balsamic Vinegar and olive Oil.  Or at least my husband and I were pleasantly surprised.

rkdard: how does the smart balance omega plus light mayo work for the 1st cycle?  And, what kidn of ranch dressing mix?  Can you just mix with FF ranch dressing?

You can put whatever dressing you want in it. I mix 2c fat free plain yogurt with a packet of ranch dressing mix, and use 2 tablespoons, or I use the smart balance omega plus light mayo (on cycle 3 list). I like it both ways, just depends upon my mood that day.

I just made canned tuna yesterday and added Kraft fat free zesty italian dressing along with chopped onions and celery and it was great.

Save – thanks for all the ideas everybody!
