Years and years ago I tried something like this, but I didn't like it between bread. Now I'm reducing carbohydrate intake, and this is a tasty alternative (without bread) to plain cottage cheese (I use low fat because the nonfat is so dry and low fat is at least a compromise). Cook time is chill time if you want it cold, but isn't really necessary.
Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped seeded cucumber
1/4 cup chopped onions or 1/4 cup sliced green onion
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)
1/4 cup chopped olive (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix everything together.
2. Chill 1 hour if you're not starving NOW.
3. Eat.
