Better For You Tuna Salad

Use Tuna Salad in your omelet in lieu of cheese

I am absolutely loving this Tuna Salad adaptation from The Maker’s Diet book.  My version is a bit quicker, contains less ingredients and more affordable.  I ate this slathered in romaine lettuce wraps for dinner in the evening and then as the “cheese” filling in an omelet the next morning.  It would be great on …
