Skinny Tuna Salad
Skinny Tuna Salad
"But I have two reasons for calling this a skinny tuna salad, firstly, because it is indeed a salad that would look after your figure. Secondly, I need to put myself in that mode, the skinny mode which I need to switch on from time to time. I can always do with shifting a couple of pounds off especially now when summer is around the corner and I need to get in the summer clothes. Hmmm Yes, not only getting into clothes but looking all right (ish) as well.?"
NotesI did mention 4-5 springs of parsley but you can add according to how much you like parsley. You can replace this with some dill or any other fresh herb that you may like. Be adventurous, like I always say. ?
