Lose The Mayo!

No mayo needed for this tuna salad.  Using Solid White Albacore (canned) Tuna, I've created a Greek inspired tuna salad that goes perfect on a multi-grain wrap with spinach.  Lunch is served for this week!

Greek Tuna Wrap
 


Ingredients:
One 5 oz. can solid white albacore tuna, in water, drained well
1 tablespoon diced roasted red peppers
1 tablespoon diced kalamata olives
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 good shakes of red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 to 2 tablespoons crumbled fat free feta
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
3 grinds of black pepper
1 whole-grain wrap
1 handful of fresh baby spinach

Directions:
Combine the tuna, red peppers, olives, oil, vinegar, oregano, feta, garlic, and pepper in a bowl.  Add 1/2 of the mixture to the wrap with the spinach and then roll like a burrito.  That's It!  Save the other half of the tuna mixture for tomorrow or share with a friend!

Nutritional Info:  Using 1/2 the mixture, a handful of spinach, and one wrap & according to myfitnesspal when ingredients and measurements are recorded -

Do not be alarmed by the fat!  Remember there are good fats and Duh!!! Tuna and Olive Oil are two of them!  Also, to reduce carbs eat as a salad instead of a wrap.  This tuna recipe is a great platform for an awesome salad!
