Easy Mediterranean Tuna Wraps

Tuna is a healthy protein that you can eat for lunch or dinner in many ways.

Tuna has a lot of flavor on its own, so it doesn’t need a lot of add-ins to make a complete meal, and you definitely don’t need to have mayo to enjoy tuna.  In fact, I prefer a simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice with tuna over a heavy mayo dressing any day!

If you like the tuna-salad like consistency, you can always substitute hummus or Greek Yogurt for mayo to keep it high in protein and low in fat.

Take advantage of the hot sales on canned tuna and Romaine hearts at Safeway right now to prepare Easy Mediterranean Tuna Wraps ahead of time and eat for lunches all week long.

This simple recipe calls for albacore tuna, but chunk light can also be used if that is what you have on hand.  Simply combine canned tuna with lemon juice, olive oil, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and dill (fresh or dried) to prepare and then spoon a healthy portion over freshly washed romaine lettuce leaves as the wrap.

The cost to make this recipe is just $1.53 if you use chunk light tuna that is on sale for just $.49 with a digital coupon this week.
