- 1 small shallot
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna, retaining a touch of the olive oil to maintain flavor and moisture.

Using a fork, break the tuna into fine flakes while mixing it with the olive oil and lemon juice.
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until well combined, ensuring a smooth blending with the tuna.

Finely dice the shallot and mix it into the tuna blend.
Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the spread.
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they're golden brown and crisp on the surface.
