Looking for something easy and nutritious to make for dinner? Try this Mediterranean Tuna Salad!
If you don’t have the spinach, don’t worry! Just make the tuna salad and wrap it up in a tortilla instead of bread to limit calories and carbs! Out of tuna? Sub in diced or shredded chicken instead. Looking for a meatless option? Pulse some chickpeas in a food processor or mash with a potato masher.
