I think I've mentioned my recent quest for fat-free and low-fat adaptations of my regular recipes...here's one I came up with about a half hour ago for lunch, and I think its a keeper. There is 0.5g of fat listed on the tuna can, so I guess technically it's not fat FREE, but close.

Add items to your shopping list
- 1 large can tuna, packed in water, drained
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1-2 TBS. sweet pickle relish
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup fat-free PLAIN yogurt, drained (you could use it undrained but your salad would be more watery. I buy large cartons and drain it through cheesecloth or paper-towel lining a sieve for at least overnight and keep it on hand as I don't care for watery anything....except some soups, of course.)
- 1 tsp. lemon pepper
- Salt and regular black pepper

How to make it

Mix everything except the yogurt, adjust seasonings to taste, then mix in the yogurt until the desired consistency. I had this with whole wheat crackers (5), on a couple of romaine lettuce leaves, and I judge the whole meal came in under 200 calories! Yay!

Another yummy alternative is to us fat free mayo. I am on a Dr. restricted low fat diet, (10g or less per day) and to me, it tastes the same as real mayo. Anywho, I was noticing that the amnt. of fat u listed was .5g which is true if you only eat 1/5 of the can of tuna...serving sizes are very small with canned meat. But still a super low fat meal!!!!!!!! :0)

The only yogurt I have ever had is the fruity kind. I am assuming you are talking about plain yogurt right? Does it have any taste to it at all?
