When you read the article below you will agree that Chris is right, January is a time for rethinking how we eat and cut out some of those fantastic holiday recipes that are jam packed with calories! Take it away Chris!

Tupperware’s very tasty (Mayo-Free) Italian Tuna Salad is just the right thing for healthier eating in January! After all the delicious indulgences of the holidays, most of us resolve to eat a more healthy diet in January, even if we don’t have to drop a pound or two. 

This tuna salad recipe is featured in the recipe insert that accompanies my favorite new kitchen tool, the Tupperware Chop ‘N Prep™ Chef.  It is delicious and uses no mayonnaise!  I promise you won’t even miss it. 

More about the Chop ‘N Prep™:

You’ll be turbo-chopping (288 times in 15 seconds) fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit, baby food and more with this compact & earth-friendly product.  It features an easy-pull cord mechanism that requires no electricity.  Plus, it is small enough to store in a cupboard, drawer, camper or boat.  It includes an airtight seal and an insert with recipes.  This great new Tupperware item has a 1-¼ cup/300 ml capacity and the  retail cost is only $39.50.

N

ow for that recipe!

Italian Tuna Salad (Serves 2)

• 5 oz. can of tuna packed in water, drained
• ¼ cup red onion roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp. pickles
• 1 tbsp. drained capers
• 1 tbsp. flat-leaf parsley

Place all ingredients in the base of your Chop ‘N Prep™.  Replace cover, twist to seal and pull the cord 4-5 times or until desired consistency is achieved.

Matt and I would like to thank you Chris for adding such good information to our site.  My kids are crazy about tuna and I just might try this recipe and substitute tofu or tuno for the tuna!  I’ll let you know how it goes!
