Mediterranean Tuna Wrap!



I've always loved tuna sandwiches, but as I've grown up, my taste buds have too and I found myself looking to up the ante on the basic tuna fish sandwich. I came across this recipe on Food Network.com and its by Ellie Krieger. It is healthy and light, and is perfect if you are counting your calories!

Mediterranean Tuna Wrap

Ingredients

  • 2 (6-ounce) cans chunk light tuna in water, drained well
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped calamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups pre-washed mixed greens (about 3 ounces)
  • 4 whole-grain wrap breads (about 2 ounces each)
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced

Directions

In a medium bowl combine the tuna, onion, parsley, olives.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour about 2/3 the dressing over the tuna mixture and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, pour the rest of the dressing over the greens and toss to combine.

Place some tuna salad onto each piece of wrap bread. Top with 1 1/2 cups of greens and a few tomato slices. Roll the wraps and serve.
