Ingredients

1 5-oz. can tuna (in water)
1 Tbsp plain non-fat yogurt or light mayo
½ a lemon (juiced)
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp red onion (finely diced)
5 cherry tomatoes (sliced)
3 baby carrots (thinly sliced)
5 grapes (thinly sliced)
1 Tbsp capers
1 Tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
1 Tbsp hemp hearts (optional)
2 Tbsp crumbled feta
2 slices of bread (I used sourdough)
1 Tbsp butter of choice or 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

In a bowl, mix drained tuna, yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to break up tuna into flakes.
Gently mix in red onion, cherry tomatoes, carrots, grapes, capers, fresh parsley, (optional hemp hearts), and crumbled feta. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
Spread the tuna salad on one slice of the bread. Top with the other slice to form a sandwich.
In a large skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. When heated, place the sandwich in the pan and cook until lightly toasted and crisp, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.
Cut in half and enjoy!

GREEK-STYLE TUNA SALAD

I had this in a restaurant once and it was so good I had to go home and recreate it. I have it with spinach stuffed in a pita or sandwich. I've cut back on the dressing to keep the calorie count low but adding more is yummy!
