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.
