Tuna Apple Salad
Prep Tip: To keep apples from browning, prepare fresh apple dishes just before serving.
Change it Up: Use unsweetened applesauce to make lower fat baked goods. Replace shortening or oils in baking with an equal amount of applesauce plus one-third of the oil called for in the recipe.
Nutrition Tip: Look for apples that are firm and do not have bruises or soft spots.
