6 ounce 

 

can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked

 

2 Tbs 

 

minced celery

 

2 Tbs 

 

fat-free mayonnaise

 

1 Tbs 

 

fresh lemon juice

Combine tuna, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Place asparagus in a steamer basket; set in a saucepan over 1-inch of boiling water. Cover tightly and steam the asparagus until bright green and tender, about 1½ minutes. Blot dry with paper towels.
