ARTICHOKE JALAPEÑO TUNA SALAD

2 cans (7-ounces each) solid white albacore tuna, packed in water

1 cup diced celery, from about 3 stalks

1 can (14-ounces) artichoke hearts, packed in water, chopped

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)

1 bunch of flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons mayonnaise, (I prefer Hellman's Best Foods Mayonnaise.  The regular 

     version not the low-fat version)

1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño, you may used canned or fresh.  I often used canned for this recipe.  If you would like it less spicy then use 2 or 3 teaspoons chopped jalapeño.

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.  Serve with either celery sticks, pita chips or make a sandwich.  A great snack or meal.
