We’ve opted for plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to give this dish a boost of protein while maintaining its creaminess.

Ingredients

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

¼ cup(s)

Fresh oregano

2 tsp, minced

Fresh parsley

2 tsp, minced (plus extra for garnish)

Fresh lemon juice

¾ tsp

Lemon zest

¼ tsp, finely grated

Jarred minced garlic

¼ tsp

Kosher salt

¼ tsp

Black pepper

tsp

Canned chunk white tuna in water

6 oz, well-drained

Red bell pepper

½ cup(s), diced

Celery

½ cup(s), chopped, or thinly sliced

Shallot

1 Tbsp, chopped, finely

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, oregano, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In another medium bowl, combine drained tuna, red pepper, celery, and shallot; spoon yogurt mixture over tuna mixture and gently fold to combine. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  3. Serving size: 1/2 cup

Notes

Red bell peppers give this dish color and sweetness, but you can substitute a yellow or orange one. Don’t substitute a green bell pepper though, as their flavor isn’t sweet enough.
