65 Calorie Tuna Salad

My youngest daughter had her Iron level tested recently, to find out her level was quite low. So we have to take extra care to make sure she is getting a sufficient amount of Iron in her diet. As well as a good amount of Vitamin C; Vitamin C helps the body to absorb Iron into the body. Learn something new everyday huh? Well, actually I probably learned that in school and chose to forget it. When are you gonna ever need that bit of information, right? WRONG.

Anyway... one of things I am trying to do for her, and everyone in my family, is adding spinach to things we already eat. Raw spinach doesn't have a ton of flavor therefore its a 'quick fix' to our Iron problem. So, I decided to make a batch of my Low Calorie (But Oh So Good) Tuna Salad.

Ingredients:

1 can Chunk Light Tuna

1/4 cup sweet pea

1/4 raw celery

1/2 cup baby spinach

1/4 cup carrots

1/4 cup cucumber

1/4 cup red onion
2 TB-spoons Light Ranch dressing

splash of pickle juice

1 TB-spoon Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce

This recipe makes about 4 servings. So thats 65 calories per serving.
