At first glance this looks like a lovely fresh fruit cup. It is up to the point that they added the canned tuna. Yummy slices and wedges of fresh fruit with a refreshing yogurt fruit dressing. Why did they ruin it with tuna? The fact that it is from the Starkist Sensational Tuna book is a clue. Another example of trying too hard to find a use for your product.
Tuna & Fresh Fruit Salad
Lettuce leaves (optional)
1 can (12-1/2 ounces) StarKist Tuna, drained and broken into chunks
4 cups slices or wedges fresh fruit
1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)
Fruit Dressing
1 container (8 ounces) lemon, mandarin orange or vanilla low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Line a large platter or 4 individual plates with lettuce leaves if desired. Arrange tuna and desired fruit in a decorative design over lettuce. Sprinkle almonds over salad if desired.
For Fruit Dressing, in a small bowl stir together yogurt, orange juice and cinnamon until well blended. Serve dressing with salad. Makes 4 servings.

This post is too funny. Last year when I celebrated the anniversary of Star-Kist, on my blog, I posted a similar recipe (think of some way to use tuna, anyway!) from another Star-Kist recipe book. I think the other recipe was a wee bit easier to digest.
I'm going to "borrow" this link to include if you don't mind. Here's my link for Star-Kist antipasto.
Thanks for sharing Rochelle...
