Today I want to share with you one of my favourite recipes: Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll. While waiting for my gallbladder surgery I was on a strict low fat diet and this Skinny Tuna Sushi Roll was my dinner for almost 1 full month! I kept on making it, as it tasted really good even though it was very low in fat! Besides, it is really easy to make and it helped satisfy my sushi cravings. All you need to make this a low fat recipe is to use tuna that is canned in spring-water instead of oil and use fat-free mayo instead of normal or Japanese mayo. This is the ideal recipe for people who like sushi but want to keep it light! Enjoy!
