Healthier Tuna Spread

It's very seldom that my daughter ask for something and when she does, I make sure that I give her the best. Yesterday Julia asked for tuna sandwich, so I made one early this morning.

Ingredients: 1 big can of Tuna in brine, 1/2 teaspoon of malunggay power, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 100 grams Lady's Choice mayonnaise.

It's very basic, mix everything and voila, a healthier tuna spread


For me and my husband, I use Lady's Choice Mayo Lite to cut down on fat and calories.


For my kids, they prefer  Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise.

    Patikim!
    Good job on the spread! Now both Bhogs and I are craving for tuna sandwich.
    Suggestion lang, best if you use fresh basil, it will do a lot, healthier, more aromatic and tastier.

      Oo nga, fresh basil will make it a lot healthier, kaso the kids ayaw ng smell nun kaya I chose to use dries. Thanks for the suggestion, Tukayo.

    It looks appetizing. I have never thought of adding malunggay powder before. Let me try it.
