This salad makes a beautiful and healthy lunch. I like to chill all the ingredients before I start, so that when I'm done it's ready and chilled... Ingredients:
1 honeydew melon |
1 can tuna (water packed) |
1 can baby shrimp (packed in brine) |
1 cucumber, peeled and cubed |
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced |
1/2 cup light mayonnaise or 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons tomato sauce |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 lemon, juice of |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Cut the melon in half lengthwise.
2. Remove the seeds and discard.
3. Make melon balls leaving the rim about 1/4 .
4. Cut each half into thirds so that there are six pieces of melon rind.
5. Rince and drain the shrimp.
6. Drain the tuna.
7. Mix the tuna, shrimp (save 6 or 12 out for a garnish), cucumber, mushrooms and melon balls in a large bowl.
8. Mix mayonnaise, tomato sauce, salt and pepper.
9. Pour over the seafood and mix throughly.
10. Note: if you don't want a mayo-type dressing, the juice of 1 lemon can be substituted for the mayo/tomato sauce mixture to make an even lighter dish.
11. Fill the melon shells with seafood/melon mixture.
12. Top with shrimp.
13. Chill until ready to serve.
