Tuna Patties

This was a successful and tasty experiment tonight...all of us enjoyed them and would eat them again.  The "patties" are a little loose with no egg binder in them, but still very good.  We ate them as sandwiches, but they'd also be tasty with sides of garden-ripe tomato slices, cooked vegetables and a roll or with pasta or rice.

3 cans tuna, drained (we used one albacore and two chunk light in water)
1 fresh diced tomato
1/4 c. Italian dressing
1/2 stack of Ritz Crackers Package, crumbled
Salt and Pepper to taste
(One scallion, diced and added would also be tasty)

Mix ingredients and form into patties  (Being so loose, I spooned them onto the grill and pressed them flat.) Cook on medium hot skillet (about 300 degrees) until browned, approximately 3 minutes on each side. The tuna patties are more cohesive when some of the moisture has been cooked out.  Serve hot.
