Nasty Fish Mix Recipe

Times are rough. The cost of living is high in New York. Tuna is expensive and er uh let's just say, necessity is definitely the mother of invention as she is the woman that granted me the idea for the following recipe.

1 can chunk light tuna in water
1 can of sardines in mustard sauce (take that friggin bone out the middle, ick!)
1/2 diced red or yellow onion
1/2 chopped tomato
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
2 leaves of green or red leaf lettuce chopped
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise (or mayo substitute)
1/8 teaspoon of red pepper

Chunk light tuna is usually a no-no. But at nearly 2 bucks a can for solid white albacore we'll have to pass on it today. Sardines? Yeah, well normally we'd go with 2 cans of tuna but seeing as in the fact that we're cutting back due to low-fundage for this particular recipe we'll go with those little guys. Sardines also add to the total 'nasty' of this dish. Okay, so why get sardines in mustard sauce? Normally, I would add a lil bit of spicy brown deli mustard. Now I don't have to. Nothing more to do now but mix up all of the above ingredients. I suggest you go with a nice wheat bread or even a flour less bread like Ezekiel (I like their sesame bread)to spread your mix on. A toasted sesame Italian loaf, and this nasty concoction topped with a mild swiss or muenster is another option.

P.S. I forgot one more optional ingredient. Carrot. Yep, a couple of years ago I had a great tuna salad that contained some shredded carrot. So if you'd like to add some carrot to your mixture I'd say finely shred about 1/2 of a nice sized healthy one and toss it on in.
