This is a good one and most of us have the recipe - it's in MasterCook under MOuth-Watering Appetizers.

Tuna Tapenade
1 6 1/2-oz can water packed albacore tuna -- drained
1/2 cup dry curd cottage cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
3 carrots -- cut into sticks
1 cup broccoli florets
3 celery stalks -- cut into sticks
2 cups cherry tomatoes (optional)

In a food processor or blender, blend the tuna, cottage cheese, lemon juice, mayo, oil, parsley, tarragon and mustard until smooth. Chill.

To serve, arrange vegetables on a platter. Use to dip in the tuna mixture. As a change of pace, use this dip as a spread on toasted pita wedges. 8 servings

Variations: Replace the tuna with canned salmon. Substitute your choice of raw veggies such as whole asparagus, cauliflower, zucchini, or jicama.

I made it with Miracle Whip, but next time I'll use Mayo - it has enough flavor. I've had so many veggies lately, I'm going to have this on a Naan. I've probably had my 1/8 of the recipe already from licking the bowl and spatula.

Hmmmmm, there's a can of tuna in the fridge but I'd need to shop for some of the rest.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

This would make a great lunch/snack of course, and wasabi does sound good to me too. Would canned salmon work?
