  2. Tuna Salad with Tamarind or Worcestershire Vinaigrette
Tuna Salad with Tamarind or Worcestershire Vinaigrette

Tuna Salad with Tamarind or Worcestershire Vinaigrette

This light and very tasty take on tuna salad comes from Sharing Plate, the inspiring food blog by cooking coach Monica Puri Bangia - an incredibly versatile chef who studied at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Monica makes her home in northern New Jersey, about 15 miles west of Manhattan, and creates simple, palate-pleasing dishes with superior, healthy ingredients. Here's what Monica said about this recipe: "I love tuna salad, especially made with lots of mayonnaise - but then I saw how many calories one tablespoon has. Can you guess? A whopping 90 calories! Instead, I used one of my favorite ingredients, Greek yogurt, to which I added Dijon mustard, sweet pickled relish, and jalapenos. I love the sweet, salty and spicy combination. I added lots of black pepper and some salt. The idea was to add lots of flavor so I wouldn't miss the mayo - and I didn't! The tuna was delicious, especially with the tamarind (or Worcestershire, as explained in the directions) vinaigrette drizzled on top. I was happy to eat a healthy yet satisfying lunch."
