Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook. These bites are a great way to kick-start your healthy lifestyle. These bites are quick, easy and flavorful. They make a great light lunch and they quickly fill you up. This take on traditional tuna fish has a zesty flare to it thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. I highly recommend adding minced garlic to the tuna bites because garlic always makes everything taste better.
