Topic: Looking for Nikki's recipies

Hi there!  If there are any veteran weight loss surgery successes on here I am looking for recipes.  These would have been from 2005-2007.  A lady by the name of Nikki or Niki was on the Obesity Help board.  She had compiled over 400 recipes into a computer format which she sent to many of us in a Zip file.  I had the files saved on a flash drive which i recently lost.  I am lost now without it.  I have search myself and cannot find her or the recipes.  Is there anyone out there who may remember this and can help me???

Topic: Tuna, Black Bean and Spinach Salad
  • 1 - 5 ounce can of Tuna packed in water (drained)
  • 1/4 - cup of canned black beans rinsed under cold water and drained
  • 2 - Tbsp minced white onion
  • 1/2 - cup of diced celery
  • 1 - cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 - medium size tomato diced large
  • 1/2 - cup lite mayonnaise
  • 1/4 - cup lite ranch dressing
  • 1/4 - tsp garlic powder, and salt and pepper to your taste
  •  

Start by measuring the spinach and placing it in a strainer.  Rinse under cold water and allow the spinach to drain. I then roll the spinach in a cloth towel or use a couple of paper towels, blotting the excess water off the spinach. Then I chop the spinach and toss the spinach in a mixing bowl, and add the remaining ingredients and mix well. I serve this  on lite bread or a thin bun.
