Tuna Burger with Salad

TUNA BURGER WITH SALAD

[ ** BACK TO RECIPE LIST ** ]

INGREDIENTS:

2 cans tuna in water (6 oz - chunk light or albacore)

2-3 egg whites

Lemon Pepper Mrs. Dash (or other Mrs. Dash flavor)

5-6 cups Romaine Lettuce and/or Spinach Leaves

2 cups chopped raw vegetables - peppers, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, etc.

3 slices whole wheat or rye bread

HOW TO MAKE:
Makes 3 servings.

This makes a quick, light meal. Drain two cans of tuna and spoon tuna in a bowl. Add two egg whites and a generous amount of Mrs. Dash. Mix thoroughly. Spoon into 3 patties in a Pam-sprayed skillet on medium heat. Cook until both sides are brown--it doesn't take long.

Serve on slice of toast with lettuce and tomato or by itself, with a salad on the side. Use salad dressing sparingly and choose either a olive oil-based dressing or fat-free creamy dressing.

NOTES: Albacore is a whiter, drier tuna fish. I prefer its taste, but regular tuna is just fine too. Tuna Burgers can be frozen, if needed, for future meals.
