customer at our North Hollywood store asked me to put a fresh twist on tuna salad for her family. I started with premium albacore tuna and added dried cranberries and Granny Smith apple to add texture and a subtle sweet-tart flavor. I removed almost all the mayonnaise and replaced it with plain nonfat yogurt. This new recipe is reduced by 170 calories, 22 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, and 150 milligrams of sodium.
