Ingredients
1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (optional)
1 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins or Fruit Bits
1/2 cup diced celery, or red or green bell pepper
1 green onion thinly sliced
1 12-ounce can or two 6-ounce cans tuna packed in water, drained, or 1-1/4 cups chopped cooked chicken (2 small chicken breasts)
6 small round or oval sandwich rolls
Sun-Maid Natural Raisins, or Tart Cherries and Mixed Fruit for decorating
Directions: COMBINE mayonnaise, yogurt and curry powder in medium bowl. Add raisins or fruit bits, celery or bell pepper, and green onion. Stir in tuna or chicken.
CUT a 1/2-inch slice off the top of each roll. With fingers or a fork, pull out some of the soft center. (Reserve for breadcrumbs, if desired.) Fill hollow with about 1/2 cup sandwich filling and cover with top.
