Skip the wrap, serve on a bed of lettuce!

 Canned tuna is a great staple to have in the pantry. But mixing it up with mayonnaise is kids play, a rookie mistake. You need a protein packed...packed lunch. Here is a grown up take on tuna salad.



Mediterranean Tuna Salad:
2 cans (6 oz) chunk light tuna in water, well drained
1/4 C finely diced red onion
1/4 C chopped calamata olives
1/4 C chopped fresh parsley
3 T olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 T fresh lemon juice
fresh ground pepper to taste

Flake the tuna into a bowl, add onion, olives, parsley and lemon zest. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice, add pepper. Combine all ingredients and toss. Divide salad in four equal portions. Serve with fresh tomato slices, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy this heart healthy, grown up tuna salad!
