EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 slice whole-grain bread
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 6-ounce can chunk light tuna, drained and flaked (see Note)
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped

TIP: Note: Canned white tuna comes from the large albacore and can be high in mercury content. Chunk light tuna, on the other hand, which comes from smaller fish—skipjack or yellowfin—is best for health-conscious eaters. According to a recent study, canned white tuna samples averaged about 315 percent more mercury than chunk light tuna samples. (The chunk light tunas averaged 0.132 parts per million mercury content, while the white [albacore] tunas averaged 0.412 ppm.)

I never imagined that you could have a Tuna Salad recipe without mayo that would be this good. This is easy and it was fantastic.

OMG! I substituted toasted almonds for the walnuts because I just didn't have any. By far the best tuna salad recipe I've ever eaten.
