From "The Good Carb Cookbook" by Sandra Woodruff, M.S., R.D. --


Tasty Tuna or Salmon Spread (Phase 2 & 3)


Yield: 2 cups


8-ounce block nonfat or reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 c. nonfat or light sour cream or mayonnaise
6-ounce can albacore tuna, drained
1/4 c. finely chopped scallions
1/4 c. finely chopped celery
1/4 c. finely chopped black olives


1.  Place the cream cheese and the sour cream or mayonnaise in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.


2.  Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Serve with whole-grain crackers (I would use Wasa crispbread).  Or use as a filling for celery sticks, hollowed-out cherry tomatoes, or finger sandwiches.


Option:  For salmon spread, substitute the tuna for 3/4 c. flaked smoked salmon.
