No Tuna Salad

This recipe doesn't actually taste like tuna but the consistency is similar to tuna salad and can be used the same way. My favorite way to eat this is to cut up and toast MS friendly pita bread in the oven to use as dippers. Whenever I make this recipe, it is pretty much gone immediately. A new family favorite that is not only delicious and healthy but also pretty quick and easy to make.
