CITRUS TUNA SALAD
Easy to put together, this salad is low cal and low fat. No mayo or sour cream. Serve with saltine crackers, baked tortilla chips or tostadas. I like to add a chopped jalapeno (canned) or a good splash of Mexican hot sauce (Tapatio is very good). Adjust the amount of veggies and citrus juice to your taste. This also packs well for lunches as long as it's kept cold.

APPLE PECAN TUNA SALAD
I grew up eating tuna salad made with sour pickles, onions, and mayonnaise. When I married, my m-in-law made a delicious tuna salad with apples as one of the main ingredients. I LOVED it and began to use that recipe. My husband likes pecans (Texas' state nut) in everything, so I always add a handful, but they are optional. It's better to begin with the chopped apple so you can sprinkle lemon juice over the pieces to keep them from turning brown. I also prefer unpeeled apples. I am saying this makes 6 servings because we like THIN sandwiches. I also sometimes make my sandwich ingredients the night before because allowing to set a while makes the flavors blend.

Steps:
- Chop unpeeled Granny Smith (or any tart, crunchy apple -- Fuji and Gala are also good).
- Sprinkle lemon juice (fresh or bottled) over apples and toss to coat evenly.
- Add drained tuna fish and flake, mixing with apples.
- Add celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Amount of mayonnaise may be adjusted according to texture preference. More crumbly (less mayonnaise) is better to eat with a fork on a lettuce leaf. More "pastey" texture is better for sandwiches.
- Taste, and add a pinch of sugar and salt if needed. (Some apples require a tiny bit of sugar).
ORANGE PECAN SALAD
This recipe, suprisingly easy, is a great hit for those who like fruit and nuts in a salad. It's wonderfully light, slightly tangy, and a flexible recipe -- you can easily add cooked chicken to it and make it a dinner salad.

GRILLED TUNA AND ORANGE SALAD WITH CANDIED LEMON AND MIXED BABY GREENS WITH CHILI AIOLI AND HERB TUILE
Steps:
- Quarter the lemons and set aside in a saucepot. Cover the lemon quarters with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain, repeat this process, and let stand for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a saucepot, combine the water and sugar, bring to a boil, and add the lemon pieces and simmer for 20 minutes. Let the rinds steep overnight and cut them into julienne.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the herb tuille, combine the eggs, egg whites, syrup, water, and garlic, and whisk all together. Work in the flour and then add the butter, salt, and pepper, and mix until a paste is formed. On a buttered and floured baking sheet, pipe the batter onto the pan in random forms and sprinkle with rosemary. Bake for 2 to 3 minutes until light golden brown. Quickly remove from the oven and shape over a bowl or any desired shape and set aside.
