Tuna Salad Sandwich with a Healthy Twist

August is National Sandwich Month and we are sharing our favorite sandwich recipes (almost) daily for the entire month, here at Iateapie.net. And we have a guest blogger today!

Hey, I Ate a Pie readers. My name is Anne and I write the food and fitness blog fANNEtastic food. My very favorite sandwich to make is a Tuna Salad with a Healthy Twist.

Tuna Salad Sandwich with a Healthy Twist

If you love tuna (or chicken, or egg) salad, but don't love all the mayo-laden calories they usually pack, you'll love this recipe. Nonfat plain yogurt and dijon mustard replace the mayo and add a delicious tangy flavor. Plus lots of veggies help pump up the nutritional value and add crunch. Yum!

Tuna Salad Sandwich with a Healthy Twist

INGREDIENTS
Toufayan Whole Wheat Pita (1)
Starkist chunk light tuna packed in water (One 2.6 oz packet)
Nonfat plain Oikos organic Greek yogurt (1 tbsp)
Grey Poupon Dijon mustard (1/2 tbsp)
Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette (1/2 tbsp - optional)
Celery stalk (1) chopped (green pepper is also tasty)
Mann's broccoli slaw (small handful)
Fresh baby spinach leaves
DIRECTIONS
Place tuna in a bowl. Add the yogurt, mustard, and balsamic vinaigrette and mix together.
Next, add the chopped celery and a small handful of broccoli slaw (LOVE this stuff... makes any sandwich instantly more awesome and crunchy) and mix it all up.
Toast the pita, place the tuna mixture inside and then top with a huge handful of spinach (or mixed green/arugula).
Enjoy!

If you are making this to go, try packing the tuna & veggies mixture in a Tupperware and bringing the pita separately so it doesn't get soggy. I guarantee your coworkers will be jealous of your delicious lunch! And be sure to check out fANNEtastic food to see more of what Anne's cooking and eating.
