Lemon Caper Tapenade Tuna Salad

Tuna salad makes for a great snack, a quick lunch, or a light dinner.  However, tuna salad is rarely a special or inspired dish.  This recipe utilizes our Pastamore Lemon Caper Artichoke Tapenade, and this addition gives a fantastic freshness and flavor.  Instead of your typical mayonnaise, this recipe is made with light cream cheese.  The cream cheese offers a rich flavor without the same calories you would find in mayonnaise.  Well this recipe may not make tuna salad the talk of the town, it will at least surprise your taste buds with a great treat.

Ingredients:  Serves: 2
1 - 5 oz can of tuna
1 Tbsp - Pastamore Lemon Caper Artichoke Tapenade
1 oz - low-fat cream cheese
1/2 Tbsp - stone ground mustard
To taste - salt and black pepper
As needed - whole wheat bread

Directions:
1.  Empty the can of tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2.  Add the cream cheese, mustard, and Pastamore Lemon Caper Artichoke Tapenade.  Use a fork to thoroughly mix all ingredients.

3.  Season the tuna salad to taste with salt and black pepper.

4.  Serve open-faced on one piece of whole wheat bread, or serve on two pieces of bread for a delicious sandwich.
