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!

Another twist on a new creation for tuna salad. I don't like olives, so there are none in my recipe, but other ingredients bring the Greek flavors to this tuna! Makes a generous portion for 2, or it can be divided up to make 3 or 4 smaller portions. Enjoy! Serve with pita chips if you like.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute diced cucumber or bell pepper.
To make the sandwich even more flavorful, try adding a dollop of tzatziki sauce or crumbled feta cheese.
Serve the sandwiches on your favorite bread. Whole wheat or sourdough bread are both good options.
If you're making the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours.
