Entertaining should be easy. And these little gems are just that. They are now my “go-to” when I’m having guests over or asked to bring an appetizer to a gathering. They actually make a fun and yummy light lunch or dinner too! Each tuna bite has only 28 calories and 1 gram of fat.
Ingredients
- 1 package Athens mini fillo dough shells (frozen) or other brand’s available, see shopping tips
- 1 (5.25 oz.) can white albacore tuna, (water packed) drained well
- ½ cup apples, unpeeled and diced small
- ⅓ cup celery, diced small
- 3 tablespoons Best Foods Light mayonnaise (Hellman’s Light)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place fillo dough shells on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, add tuna and all remaining ingredients, except fillo shells. Mix well to combine.
- To assemble each appetizer: Fill each shell with 1 very rounded teaspoon of tuna salad. These can be stored in the refrigerator for an a few hours before serving. Or, prepare the tuna several hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake the shells a few hours before serving and fill with tuna. You don’t want to store in the refrigerator assembled for more than a few hours. The shells will soften from the tuna.
