Tuna Salad Bake
(Makes 6 servings)
This easy and delicious recipe was given to me by my great aunt, who originally got it from Better Homes & Gardens.
You can use less lettuce and tomato if they bother you; I usually end up using about 1 1/2 cups of lettuce and only 1 medium tomato.
Ingredients:
1 (8 count) package reduced fat crescent rolls
1 (12.5 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked (or 2 12-oz. cans)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup Green Goddess Salad Dressing
2 cups chopped lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
4 slices American soy cheese, halved diagonally (I use Veggie Slices)
1. Unroll crescent roll dough; separate into 8 triangles.
2. Place in greased 9-inch pie plate, pressing edges together to form pie shell.
3. Trim edges of rolls 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate; fold under.
4. Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven about 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, combine tuna, celery, and salad dressing; spread mixture over partially baked shell.
6. Sprinkle with chopped lettuce; top with chopped tomatoes.
7. Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
8. Top with soy cheese halves; bake about 10 minutes more or until cheese melts.

Kree, what are "reduced fat crescent rolls"? Are these low-fat croissants (is such a thing possible?)? I am so hope less!

Hmm... Linz, you might not have crescent rolls in the UK. They're put out by Pillsbury. They're in the refrigerated section, and they come in a tube. Here's a pic of the reduced fat ones:
Normally you do bake them in rolls so they look like little croissants. And to be honest, even the reduced fat ones aren't "low fat", lol. But I hope you can find something like that around you, because they come in handy and they're really yummy!

Wow, Kree, where did you find the reduced fat kind? I haven't seen them anywhere. I used to really love the regular kind, but oh did they ever make me sick! Of course, the problem couldn't possibly have been that I ate half the batch in one sitting!
Yeah, you can't stop eating these things, they're incredible. Reduced-fat kind, eh? I don't know, if I find them I could be in big trouble...

I just happened to see the reduced fat ones in the grocery store and was so excited!! I didn't know they made them before that either. But yeah, you're right, they're totally addicting. I haven't made these up plain because I always eat at least 2, too... when I was younger I even used to eat them raw, which seems gross to me now, lol.
For your sake, Bev, I hope they DON'T have them near you! It sounds like you're having enough trouble controlling yourself with the RKT, and who needs another temptation??

Well, Girlfriend, now I'm gonna have to find these. See what you started?! Actually, I just pulled out a very old recipe that calls for this stuff. I thought I was going to have to toss the recipe, but now I think it's do-able.
Check it out -- "'Meat'-n-Cheese Foldovers" -- they're like just the best tasting stuff ... E-VER.

Okay, this might be do-able! Now I realise it's pastry, the whole recipe makes so much more sense!

Yeah, I can imagine that if you thought it was made with pre-baked croissants that would be confusing.
