I can remember packing tuna sandwiches for lunch years ago and eating it because I figured it was better than some of the things I might normally choose. I did NOT eat it because I liked it! When I saw this recipe, I was skeptical but willing to give it a try. I had tried some 21 day fix tuna recipes, but had not found one I actually liked eating. This one is a keeper!
TUNA SALAD WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES
2 SERVINGS – about 1½ cups each
- 2 cans chunk light tuna (5oz), packed in water, drained
- 1.5 cups artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
- 20 medium black olives, chopped
- 2 tsp. all-natural mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp. chopped fresh oregano (or ½ tsp. dried oregano)
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 large Boston (or Bibb) lettuce leave
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
Combine tuna, artichoke hearts, bell peppers,olives, mayonnaise, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
Lay out a tortilla (warm if you desire).
Add a leaf of lettuce on the tortilla and top evenly with tuna salad.
This would work for two meals. You can surely double the recipe, but I probably would plan to eat it within 2-4 days!
