Healthified Tuna "Noodle" Salad
« on: June 21, 2012, 08:07:31 PM »
Unfortunately, I do not remember  :( where I found this recipe to give proper credit – it was either a low-carb site on Facebook - but more likely, found on Pinterest… 

Healthified Tuna “Noodle” Salad

1 jar Hearts of Palm (I used a 14 oz can)
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 12 oz can tuna fish
½ cup Spectrum mayo (I used Hellman’s regular, and enough for the consistency I liked)
¼ cup chopped dill pickles (I used 2 dill spears)
1 pinch salt (I used Morton’s Seasoned Salt)
Optional:  hard boiled eggs; a small handful of peas

Cut the hearts of palm into “noodle-like” shapes.

In a large bowl, combine the heart pieces, pickles, celery and tuna.
Whisk mayo and salt – add to tuna mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Serves 4.  My count was 6 ½ net carbs for the entire salad (excluding eggs and/or peas)!!!  I served the salad on a bed of lettuce surrounded with tomato wedges – a light meal on a hot night.  :) :)

Here is the link to her blog with that recipe  ;)     http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/2010/06/tuna-noodle-salad.html    Actually it was probably on both facebook and pinterest   :)   She has some really nice recipes

I think hearts of palm are more texture than flavor.  I can't describe it but it's mild.
