Well most of that recipe is freebies in the form of veggies and/or spices.

You need only count points for the tuna, olives and mayo. So figure up the points based on the cal/fat/fiber total them up and divide by the number of servings.

It's 4 pts for the tuna
1 pt for the artichokes
3 pts for the olives (if it was around 3 oz)

The mayo depends on what you used:
25 pts in a cup of regular mayo :yikes:
17 pts in a cup of light mayo
5 pts in a cup of FF mayo

Sorry, the tuna is 4 pts per can! So if you used 4 cans then it'll be 16 pts! Oh and the onion is 1 pt for a cup, I don't know how small was the onion.

From all my materials artichokes are 0 point veggies thus will be 0 points.
