Tip #37: Redo tuna

Would you like some tuna with your mayo?  Ha.  I could probably ask some of you that question, and based on how some restaurants make their tuna salad, I could ask them the same.  Tuna is a fantastic source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids.  However, when it is drowning in mayonnaise, it no longer receives the honorable title of "Healthy".  Consider trying something new with your tuna sandwich or tuna and crackers.  Replace the mayo with mustard.  Okay, now untwist your face and stop saying "eww" and give it a try.  I personally like tuna, some mustard, chopped boiled egg, and diced dill pickle.  If this is too much for you, replace just a little bit of the mayo with mustard, and as you get used to the taste, increase the mustard ratio.  Not convinced?  Check this out:
