My Lunch Today: Low-Carb, Low-Calorie Tuna Salad

• 1/2 can of Wild Planet’s Light Skipjack Tuna
• 1tbsp Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil… it’s only 45 calories. I splurged on mayo today. Not sure how I feel about it, but it was good!
• 1 tsp spicy brown mustard
• 1 tbsp diced jalapeno peppers
• 1/8 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
• 1/4 vine-ripened tomato
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (or shredded by hand as I did)
• Ground black pepper
• Top with a few croutons and you’re all set.

*Avocado would be a fantastic replacement for the mayo….and I just NOW thought of this.  I run home on my lunch breaks so I don’t have much time to prep lunches and make them look perfect every time.  However, this was all still great in calories/protein/carbs!
