Tuna Salad...




2 5oz cans of tuna, drained
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
5-6 green onions, sliced
2 cups dry whole wheat elbow macaroni, prepared
1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded, cored, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Nature's Seasoning
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt


Prepare noodles as instructed on box. Let cool. While they cool, prepare all vegetables. When noodles are cool and veggies prepared, mix together with drained tuna in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix spices and greek yogurt together. Add to tuna mix. Coat well. Serve cold.

I will say, that in the past I've made this with a cup of mayo as opposed to greek yogurt. There was over 100 calories more per serving, and much more fat, but I admit, I like it better with the mayo. Next time, I might sacrifice some calories for light mayo, or even cottage cheese. You guys try it. I might also add a peeled, chopped cucumber, and two diced roma tomatoes. As is, if it's split into 6 servings, the info according to MFP as is follows:
