I love a good tuna sandwich but I have noticed that tuna is a love hate type of sandwich. I was having this discussion with my mother in law and sister in law the other day and it seems as though the mayo is the culprit here. Tuna, no mayo, sacrilege! But then I got to thinking about it and saw a blog from Healthy Eats about substituting yogurt for the mayo.
Today I had some Greek yogurt in the fridge, and I was thinking tuna for my lunchbox (with the last of the garden tomatoes, yum!). Not having a recipe, I dug through the condiments to see what I might like to add and here is what I came up with.
Tuna Salad - no mayo (makes 2 sandwiches)
1 can chunk light or white tuna in water - your preference
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (a little more or less depending on your preference)
1 teaspoon capers
2 teaspoons sweet relish
1-2 teaspoons chopped banana peppers or pepperomcini
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Mix everything together, taste, adjust to your taste, little more sweet, little more spice, whatever. You get enough salt from the capers and peppers so you shouldn't need to add more.
Spread on sourdough bread (toasted or not) add sliced tomato and lettuce, enjoy.
I'm having it for lunch today, I can hardly wait.
