A pinch of this, a dab of that...

In my quest to get healthy and fit, I've had to re-think my lunch options. That pretty much means NO EATING OUT, and packing HEALTHY lunches for work. This has forced me to try some new things. My meal choices are fairly limited because for the most part, I'm a PESCATARIAN. I rarely eat chicken, beef, pork or turkey. I pretty much stick to fish, shrimp, crab, and oysters...anything that lives in water.

So for this week's lunch I decided to make tuna salad. I've never been a big fan of tuna, and when I do eat it, I'm a bit of a "tuna snob" and it has to be Albacore. Pricey? Yes. But I just don't like "chunk light."

Yesterday I made my way to the store and picked up some albacore, red onion, bellpepper, celery and spicy brown mustard. I came home and mixed that up with some garlic powder, relish and kalamata olives which surprisingly yielded a pretty tasty tuna salad.

You may have noticed that I left out in ingredient that most folks add to their tuna salad -- MAYONNAISE. I do NOT like mayonnaise...AT ALL. So I purposefully left that out.

Now I'm on a bit of a "tuna kick" and I'd love to "spice it up" a bit. Not necessarily making the tuna "spicy" because I don't like spicy food, but just experimenting with different variations of tuna salad. I already know that next time I want to add some green onion, and garlic hummus has also been suggested. There are just sooo many ways to go with this.

Here's where YOU come in...
