One cupmayonnaise, a little tuna, and say the word "green" andyou had lunch! As you age, you learn a few things. For example, ketchup is not avegetable and mayonnaise should be used sparingly. Does anyone elseremember PBS featuring a song on "Drowning your food"? For this tuna melt, I have used only a tablespoon of mayonnaise.Some of you might be wondering why I don't use more of alight mayonnaise to make it creamier. I did buy and write about light mayonnaise and my conclusion was that it didn't taste very good. Hellmann's used starch to thicken the product and it was justawful. I threw out the jar without finishing it. So, I made a newrule. None of Snack Girl's recipes will have light mayonnaise as aningredient. I don't care how many samples they send me – it isNOT going to happen. What is special about THIS tuna melt is that it is packed withprotein, 43% of your daily value of vitamin A, 129% of your dailyvalue of vitamin C, and 6% of your daily value of iron in ONE halfof a bell pepper (gluten-free, too). When you heat it under the broiler, you get a hot cheesy tuna tasteand a warm crunchy sweet pepper taste. It is so fresh and livelythat you won't miss the bread. My husband ate these fordinner and told me that he loved me. See what good food can do? I had a few left over so I put them in a container for lunch thenext day. These are great to bring to work and then heat up forabout 20 seconds in a microwave (or eat them cold). You don'tneed a fork or knife – just grab them like a sandwich. Red bell peppers can be expensive. I was able to find some for $2per pound and I was psyched! Spend a little less money on vitaminpills and more money on food like red bell peppers.
