Lunch

October 29, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Maybe a year ago I was watching Food Netowrk and someone on a show suggested that one quick and easy way to eat healthier is to substitute hummus for mayonaisse.  I tried this a couple of times and wasn't all that thrilled with the result (although I don't remember if it was taste, texture or moisture that didn't work well for me at the time).

Anyway, this is an idea that has stuck in my head and resurfaced with an intriguing idea - substitue the hummus for mayo when making a tunafish sandwich.  So I tried it and, with a little tweaking found I liked the result.  Then I started playing with flavors and things have gotten much better.  Today's lunch was tuna with tomato-basil hummus (with a bit of extra olive oil, salt and pepper to round out the texture and flavor).  This is a wonderful combo.  The tomato flavor works really nicely with tuna.  Next time I run out of tuna I will probably try and get some that is packed in oil (rather than water) since that would possibly increase the tuna flavor.  In any case, YUM!
