Steps:
- Drain tuna and chop up as good as you can in a mixing bowl. I like to chop it very fine as it just makes it easier to mix when you add the other ingredients.
- Add around a tbsp of mayo or just enough to wet tuna, and mix until tuna is moistened.
- Add 4-8 0z cream cheese ( more makes the tuna go further) depending on how much you prefer.
- Then I add around 2 tbsp's of Lea& Perrin's Worchestershire sauce. I say Lea& Perrin's only because I have tried other brands and they just don't taste the same.
- Mix all together and let set in fridge to firm or use as is.
- Serve on toasted bagels, toast or whatever you prefer. I used to serve on a nice crisp lettuce leaf with a slice of cheese to keep it low carb.

TUNA CHEESE SANDWICHES
"This is my husband Kent's very favorite sandwich," says Barbara Billeter from Clovis, California, "and I often make a double batch when lots of family or friends are over." TIP: "I prepare the tuna mixture in advance and add the lettuce just before assembling the sandwiches. This gives me more time to visit with my company," suggests Barbara.

CREAMY AND CRUNCHY TUNA SALAD SUPREME
This tuna salad is made special with the addition of cream cheese and chopped raw carrots. Red peppers make it pretty and one or two other vegetables, fruits or nuts keep it changing and interesting. I developed this recipe after I tasted cream cheese in a salmon salad sandwich at a funeral lunch in Canada many years ago. Add baby spinach or lettuce leaves, and serve on your favorite bread or as a wrap in a tortilla.
