Summer Tuna Salad


 I made this today...yummy...not too sweet or tart!  If this isn't spicy enough just use less Hellman's Mayo.  Normally, I am not a a mayo fan...Miracle Whip is my first choice.  However, I think that it would make this too sweet.  Also made Watermelon Lemon Thyme Cooler.

1 carrot, shredded
1 yellow pepper, cut in half.  Chop half of the pepper into large dice.  Save the other half for presentation.
1/3 vidalia or other sweet onion, diced
2 T parsley chopped
1 T fresh lemon thyme, chopped
 1/4 cup Marzetti's Southwest-Ranch Veggie Dip
1/4 cup Hellman's Mayo with EVOO
2 cans tuna - water pack, drained well
Salt and pepper to taste
3 lettuce leaves - I used red leaf lettuce today.

Combine all ingredients.  Scoop into reserved pepper half.  Plate and enjoy!
