Tuna Salad in a pita with sneaky cauliflower :D

TUNA SALAD with cauliflower


2 (6-ounce) cans light tuna packed in spring water


1/2cup cauliflower puree (just steam it and beat it till creamy)


1/4cup reduced fat mayo or miracle whip


2 stalks celery finely chopped or grated (i don't add this cuz i hate celery)


1/4tsp chili powder or to taste


1/4tsp sweet paprika


1/4tsp garlic powder


1/2tsp sea salt or to taste


1/8tsp pepper




Drain tuna well, then turn it into a large bowl and break it up with a fork.




Fold in the cauliflower puree and mayo. Then stir in the celery and seasonings.




Stuff it into a nice warm pita and chow down. :)


One serving of this salad provides 21 grams of lean, high quality protein and a good amount

of B vitamins (important for healthy immune

system). Make the salad with light rather

white tuna, because white tuna has been

shown to contain high levels of mercury.
