This 15-Minute Mediterranean Tuna Salad is a no-cook, healthy lunch miracle! Made with Greek yogurt, fresh veggies, and feta, it's perfect stuffed into pitas.
  • Total Time: 15
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

- 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole wheat pita pockets
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and dried oregano.

  2. Flake the drained tuna into the bowl with the dressing.

  3. Add the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and fresh dill to the bowl.

  4. Gently stir everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Slice the top off the pita pockets to open them. Line each pita with a few spinach leaves if desired.

  6. Stuff each pita generously with the tuna salad mixture.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: The tuna salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The liquid from the veggies may seep out a little; just give it a stir before serving.

  • Pita Tip: To prevent sogginess, only stuff the pitas right before you plan to eat them.

  • Tuna: Using tuna packed in olive oil will yield a richer flavor, but tuna in water works perfectly too.

  • Dairy-Free: Omit the feta cheese for a dairy-free version. It will still be delicious!
