Ingredients

  • 1 7 oz can solid white albacore tuna drained & flaked
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach washed and roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1-2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and lemon juice until smooth.
    1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • To a large mixing bowl add the tuna, spinach, cheese, & tomatoes. Gently stir, just until evenly mixed. 
    1 7 oz can solid white albacore tuna, 1 cup fresh baby spinach, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1-2 Roma tomatoes
  • Add the yogurt mixture, again stirring until evenly combined. Season the mixture with salt & pepper, to taste. 
    salt & pepper
  • Serve on freshly sliced ciabatta buns, or if looking for a lower carb option- with lettuce as a wrap, or even enjoy it on top of crackers.

Notes

  • Make sure you are using plain Greek yogurt. You can use nonfat or full fat but full fat will be creamier.
  • To seed the tomatoes, cut them in half and then give them a little squeeze over a bowl. That should release the seeds and extra juice. Don't skip this or your salad will be watery.
  • Baby spinach is a must over other spinach varieties. Other spinach varieties will be tougher and a little bitter.
  • You could add other veggies like diced bell peppers and diced celery to this tuna salad recipe for added crunch.
