Ingredients: Carbs:
3 cans of tuna 0 g
2 tbsp mayonaise 0 g

*See variations below. This is just the base.
Directions:
Mix all ingredients. I start with the tuna, then add the mustard, and add the mayonnaise last. I add as much as I need until I have the consistency I like.
Notes:
We like to eat this with Wasa crackers (2 for 8 g of carbs), on a bed of lettuce (1 c. for 1 g of carbs), with celery (a whole stalk for 1 g of carbs), or with cucumbers (1 c. for 4 g of carbs).
We also spread the tuna salad on 2 Wasa crackers, cover it with American cheese (1 g of carbs/slice) or pepper jack cheese (0.5 g of carbs/1 slice) , and bake it at 400º for about 10 min to make a tuna melt.
