TUSCAN TUNA

Tuscan Tuna image

Flavorful, colorful and uses no mayo so high in protein, low in saturated fat. Cook time is chill time. This is a 'wanna be contest winner that I created for the Ready Set Cook #11 contest but I could only submit three entries.

1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained

Steps:

Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender until well-blended but still a little chunky - do not completely puree.
