Makes 1 serving (1 1/2 cups)

Fresher, leaner, and full of crunch -- you'll swear off deli tuna salad after enjoying this slimmed-down version. Serve on a bed of crisp mixed greens spritzed with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, or spread the salad on GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbreads.

1 can (3 ounces) water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
1 hard-cooked egg white, chopped
1/4 cup each finely chopped red and green bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped celery
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped dill pickle
1 1/2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In a salad bowl, combine all ingredients and stir with a fork to blend well. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
