Easy Fat Free Tuna Pate

This easy fat free tuna pate is great served with melba toast or crackers

This is a very quick and easy fat free pate recipe that can be served as a light lunch (it’s great for summer !), or even as a party snack. Make it the day before & chill overnight in the fridge so that it’s nice and firm before serving -:


Easy Fat Free Tuna Pate

2 x tins Tuna in brine, drained (185 gm size/130 gm when drained)
200 gm plain Fat Free Cottage Cheese (Cream Cheese)
3 tbsp Fat Free Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce
1 tsp Garlic Flakes
1 bunch Spring Onions (tops & tails), chopped (reserve a tablespoon for garnishing)
Salt & freshly milled Black Pepper (to taste)

Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. (Mix just to blend - so that the pate mix does not become too runny). Pour into a small bowl & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with the remainder of the chopped spring onions & serve with toast triangles, melba toast or crackers.
