Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna in water
- 1 stalk Celery
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Mixed greens or lettuce leaves
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake it with a fork to break apart any large chunks.
Finely dice the celery and red onion. Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes. Add these vegetables to the bowl with the tuna.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the cilantro mayo dressing.
Pour the cilantro mayo dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture. Gently stir everything together until well combined and coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, lime juice, or pepper if desired.
Serve the tuna salad on a bed of mixed greens or scoop it into lettuce leaves for a fresh and healthy wrap option.
