*Bread choice not included as there are too many options, but this goes very nice on whole wheat.

I am still playing with this a bit. I think it may be ok to drop the mayo and go with .5 c yogurt, but not sure yet.

My wife refuses to eat celery, and I refuse to eat onions, so I'm not sure how well that one would go over.

I picked up some imitation crab and lobster on sale this week, and am planning on taking a shot at this again today using it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Celery expends more calories than it gives so that would be good on a cut. I prefer my own salad with salad leaves, cucumber and spinach.
